1100 St Lawrence Jewry Wren Watching (& Talking & Walking) An All Day Event: Morning Event at 1100 Afternoon Event at 1400

After the Great Fire of London Sir Christopher Wren directed the work of rebuilding the parish churches.

Wren Watching at the church, Wednesday 23 May, in two sessions.

In the morning they will look in depth at the history and stained glass of St Lawrence Jewry and in the afternoon they will be leading a walk from Guildhall Yard takin in three other Wren churches, discussing Wren, stained glass, the City churches and their history.

EVENTS & CONCERTS IN JUNE 2018

Saturday 2 June 1900 All Hallows by the Tower "Dear Chocolate Soldier" In June 1916 a 6 year old girl watches her father wrap a packet of chocolate for the brave soldiers at the front. A thought strikes her: 'How will the soldier know it's from me?' Her father obligingly writes: ‘From Little Joan, Whiterock, Cornwall’. Six weeks later a letter arrives for Little Joan, the first of many from Bombardier Edwin Hassall, still in the midst of the fighting at the Battle of the Somme. The story of the letters is told movingly and amusingly in this docudrama, written by our own Kate Glover (Price), in a cabaret style performance with poetry and popular songs from the period. Tickets £12 (£10 concessions) available on the door Sunday 3 June 1400 The Great Hall of St Bartholomew's Hospital Verdi Requiem from Scratch Come for a wonderful afternoon of music to sing or just to hear.

1300 St Katharine Cree

The Annual Lion Sermon Guest speaker: Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE Founder of parkrun Music will be performed by a chamber group from Lloyd’s Choir

The Lion Sermon is an annual sermon preached on a Thursday on or near 16 October at the City church of St Katharine Cree. The sermon commemorates the memory of Sir John Gayer (or Gayre), (1564 – 1649). He was a Cornishman who became Lord Mayor of London in 1646. He was also a Governor of the East India Company and briefly imprisoned in the Tower of London for his Royalist sympathies. Apparently while travelling on a trading mission in Arabia – modern-day Syria – he became separated from his travelling companions and was stalked by a lion. Sir John prayed for assistance and the lion left him unharmed on account of his devout prayers and vows of charity. The story tells us that his travelling companions discovered Sir John sleeping in the desert next morning surrounded by the footprints of the lion. In gratitude for his deliverance he endowed the City church of St Katharine Cree with a fund for a sermon to be preached by an eminent guest on the theme of 'challenges to the Christian faith'. Sir John died in 1649 and is buried in the church His commemorative brass is to be found on the floor behind the altar.

The entries below show the normal pattern of services for City Churches and a few churches ‘just over the City borders’. Entries are for Church of England services except where indicated otherwise. ‘1st Monday’, ‘2nd Monday’ etc refer to the 1st Monday, 2nd Monday etc of the month. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, the services shown are subject to change immediately before, during and after major festivals, at Bank or other holidays, and during the summer months. Some regular services in the City are subject to cancellation for much or all of December, because of special services and other events. In general, churches in the City are also closed for a period over and after Christmas and over the New Year. In some cases the entries below refer to specific dates when it is known that regular services will not take place, but that will also be the case on other dates and at other churches. You are strongly advised to contact churches to check the details. For a list of weekend (particularly Sunday) services please go to the Friends of the City Churches website at www.london-city-churches.org.uk and follow the links from ‘Events’ and ‘City Events’.

1930 St Mary at Hill Orlando Chamber Choir Oliver John Ruthven – director Graham Thorpe – organ

Puer natus est nobis Christmas for Queen and commoners

At the heart of Orlando Chamber Choir's Christmas concert is Thomas Tallis' large-scale Missa Puer natus est nobis, based on the festive plainchant of the same title.

Tallis' magnificent mass is interspersed with Advent music from William Byrd's “Gradualia” (1605), written to provide the recusant Catholic community with settings of the Mass Propers. Each of Byrd’s compositions is a small shining jewel of musical inventiveness and text characterisation. The Christmas constellation is completed by music from Tudor times to modern day, including Robert Parsons' exquisite Ave Maria and works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Boris Ord, Benjamin Britten and Malcolm Ruthven …….

but the stars of Orlando Chamber Choir's Christmas concerts are invariably the audience when they join in with the traditional carols! There will be festive readings too - with wine, mince pies and an interval raffle to complete this all-sensory Christmas evening.

Admission is free with a voluntary donation
