St John’s College

Chapel Services

Michaelmas Term 2008

St John’s College Chapel

Since the early thirteenth century the site of St John’s College has had a place of Christian worship. The original Chapel, whose ruins may still be viewed in First Court, belonged to a hospital for the poor and infirm and was retained when the College was founded in 1511. Our present Chapel, built in 1869 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, continues this faithful offering of prayer with regular services enriched by the College’s outstanding choral tradition.

Members of the public are welcome at all Choral Services, printed in BOLD TYPE in this list.

Surplices are provided in the Chapel, and are worn by members of the College on Sundays, at Evensong on Saturdays, and on other holy days as marked in this list with the letter S.

Choral Evensong

Our service of Evensong follows that set down in the Church of England’s Book of Common Prayer in 1662. The service is sung by the Choir, of men and boys, who study either at the College or at the College School and may be followed on the cream cards in the stalls. The words of the psalm appointed for the day and sung by the Choir may be found in the Book of Common Prayer (usually red). Please join in singing the hymns, usually found in the green New English Hymnal.

Our Old Testament lessons this term are taken from the Prophet Isaiah, sometimes known as “the Fifth Gospel”, while our New Testament lessons follow the account of Jesus’ ministry from St Luke’s Gospel. In accordance with the spirit of the Book of Common Prayer (a portion of) the Morning Psalms are sung during the first half of term, and (a portion of) the Evening Psalms during the second half.

On Sunday evenings we are delighted to welcome as guest preachers some of the foremost contributors to the contemporary science and religion debate. They will be challenging us to see how the approaches of science and faith contrast and complement each other in ‘Exploring the Mystery: Faith and Science’. Further details may be found at:

www.joh.cam.ac.uk/chapel_and_choir/chapel/preachers

Sung Eucharist

The service may be followed in the blue Sung Eucharist booklets. Please join in all words marked in bold. Our readings are printed on a separate white sheet, which may be collected from the entrance to the Chapel. Hymns are found in the green hymn book in the stalls.

All who are communicant members of their own church are most welcome to receive Communion. Please place a wafer in the ciborium as you enter Chapel, if you wish to receive.

In our morning sermon series this term, ‘Talking Art: Secular and Sacred’, the Dean and Chaplain explore the spirituality of a range of artworks from Caravaggio and Geertgen to Frida Kahlo and Anthony Gormley.

Listen Online

A Chapel service will be webcast on a weekly basis throughout the year. Webcast services will be available from midday on Tuesdays, beginning on October 14th. You can listen online at:
