St Margaret's Church Prestwich

Good morning and welcome to our service of Holy Communion for Sunday 21 July – our Patronal Festival. Rev Helen will preside and Rev Sue will preach.

The music before the service is Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”:

The service began with the hymn “Let us Build a House”:

The readings were:

• Jeremiah 23:1-6
• Ephesians 2:11-22
• Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

The service was livestreamed in full here:

The anthem sung whilst communion was distributed was “I Will Follow Him” – from memory!

We finished with the stirring hymn “For all the Saints”:

This was our musicians’ final service before their summer break, so the music after the service was the traditional “Irish Blessing”, arranged by Bob Chilcott:
