THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST ANDREW IN WELLS

Services and Music List

February 2013

WELCOME January 2013 saw a new format for the listing of our services and music. We are very grateful to St Andrews Press, which produced the music scheme for many years. This new listing is initially monthly but will cover a period of two months from March. We are fortunate in Wells to have music and worship of such high quality. I am sure that as we get used to the new format of the services and music list we will appreciate being able to look ahead over a larger period. I commend it to you and hope that you will join us to pray in this special place. The Dean of Wells, The Very Reverend John Clarke Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire. CANONS IN RESIDENCE January 27 – February 2: The Chancellor, The Reverend Canon Andrew Featherstone February 3 – 9: The Treasurer, The Reverend Canon Dr Graham Dodds February 10 – 23: The Chancellor, The Reverend Canon Andrew Featherstone February 24 – March 2: The Archdeacon, The Venerable Nicola Sullivan
