SANCTUARY
Find Sanctuary at 6:00 Sunday evenings at Christ Church Cathedral. Sanctuary is a place and time of deep peace, heartwarming music of the Celtic tradition, votive candles, contemplation, communion and worship. Sanctuary is where you can feel close to God, find peace of mind and heart, and bring into focus your purpose and place in the world. Sanctuary is worship that gives both solace and strength in the joy of Holy Eucharist. Sanctuary is followed by a simple meal. Sanctuary takes a break during July and December, but is every Sunday through the rest of the year.
SUNDAYS6:00pmContempletive Service with music in Celtic tradition
Please visit our website, www.ccclex.org, to learn more about the Cathe-dral’s music program and to hear new recordings of the Cathedral Choirs. In addition to the services
listed in this brochure, the Cathedral Choirs sing weekly at the 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Sun-day services.The music program at Christ Church Cathe-dral exists in order to adorn the liturgy, to ed-ify and educate the congregation and to en-hance the cultural life of the community. You are invited and welcome to participate in the worship, education and fellowship of the Ca-thedral. We invite you to share this brochure with family and friends by way of extending this invitation. Christ Church Cathedral has for many decades supported and sustained choirs trained in the English Cathedral tradition. Unique in its depth and breadth, instruction for the boys, girls and teens is based on the curriculum of the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM). Children and youth deepen their sense of his-tory, liturgy, language and art as well as their ability to interpret sacred texts and music. Through the ongoing effort of learning and working together, they also develop friend-ships and become part of a community that uplifts collective and individual efforts. Christ Church Cathedral choristers learn what it is to be at the heart of vibrant worship.
During the summer of 2014, the Choir of Men and Boys and the Cathedral Girls Choir will travel to England where they will sing in residency at York Minster and Saint George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. We regard these trips as enhancements of our regular program of weekly services, rehearsals, and occasional concerts here in Lexington and invite you to share in our enthusiastic preparations for this journey.In November, the Cathedral Choir will release a new CD recording of favorite anthems and motets as well as music for organ and cello. Look for details on the Cathedral website and newsletter, Prayer and Action.Membership in the Cathedral Girls Choir is open to all girls ages eight through eigh-teen. Membership in the Cathedral Boys Choir is open to all boys ages seven through voice change. We also offer a choir for those younger than age eight: The Cathedral Imps (beginning at age 4 or 5 through age7). Our mixed adult choir, the Cathedral Singers sings throughout the summer months and several times throughout the academic year. Our Women’s Choir, Cathedral Schola sings once per month and for special services during the academic year.You are cordially invited to become a part of the Cathedral music program.
