Here it is again for everyone who couldn’t attend the service or who would simply like to watch it again.
Looking at the week ahead, including the invitation to this week’s Palm Sunday service on Zoom:

Today I’d like to share with you Jochim Trede at our organ playing Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chorale Prelude “O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sünde groß”. Bach’s “Choralbearbeitung” takes the tune of the Lutheran hymn “O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sünde groß” (“O human, bewail your great sin”) and stretches it into long ornamented arcs. It is the virtue of music that the music does exactly what the words prompts us to do: The hymn says “bewail your sin – cry!” and the music bewails and cries.
A three part round with verses taken from Psalm 137: “How shall I sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? As for our lyres we hung them up on the willows that grow in that land.” – Music composed by our Director of Music, Yotin Tiewtrakul, to welcome our new chaplain Revd Jules Barnes. We hope that Hamburg will turn from a “strange land” into a new home for her!
