Choral Reflection: The Fruit of the Spirit

This term our Choral Reflections (Mondays at 6 pm) consider the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5.22-23). The aim of this weekly service is to provide a more reflective space, shaping our thoughts and prayers through music, words and silence. All are welcome to any or all of these services.

Chapel Supper

Following Choral Reflection in weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7, everyone who attends the service is invited to join with us and enjoy a (free!) supper in the Memorial Room.

Compline

This meditative, candle-lit service is chanted every Wednesday of the year at 9 pm. In term time, it is followed by port and hot chocolate in the Chaplain’s room. All are welcome.

SPECIAL EVENTS

College Communion for Candlemas

Everyone is invited to celebrate the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas) with a service of Holy Communion on Thursday of 3rd week at 6 pm.

Ash Wednesday

The season of Lent begins in College with a service of Holy Communion on Ash Wednesday (Wednesday of 5th week, 14 February) at 6 pm. The service will include the opportunity to receive the sign of the cross on the forehead in ash, a traditional symbol of penitence and faith. Please note that there will be no choral service on 15 February.

Roman Catholic Mass in College

We are delighted that our friends from the University Catholic Chaplaincy come to chapel each term, with one of their Chaplains saying mass. This term this service takes place on Monday of 6th week at 6 pm. All welcome.

The Way of the Cross: Music and Readings for Lent

The Chapel presents a meditative service of music, readings, and reflection for the Lenten season on Thursday of 8th week (7 March) at 6 pm.
