Not knowing my psalter well enough and not finding a BCP in my pew rack, I had to let the choir carry on unaided.<br /><br />-at which point the L-G's aide-de-camp had properly escorted him to the lectern ready to read the First Lesson at the point indicated in the program.

That was fun. Ended with the first verse of the National Anthem, then off we went.Bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989307876421460920noreply@blogger.com
