This morning we are (re-)commissioning each other for another year of service.

One of the choir peices is this, which I adore... and which takes me to significant places in my own story, notably eight years ago when we had it at an infant blessing, my last 'public' appearance before I had my long hair cut short in preparation to start cancer treatment in September 2010. It still has the power to make me 'well up' with sorrow, joy, hope and faith...

'Yes, LORD, I do love you... I will go wherever you lead me, and do or be whatever you call me to...'
