Welcome to the Morning Service from Glasgow Cathedral for the 2nd of August. We hope you enjoy worshiping with us this morning. Today's service features previously recorded offerings from our Choir and  using all the recommended safe-distancing rules, Rev Mark and an abbreviated production team (Glen and Jane) returned to the Cathedral to film portions of this morning's service. We all hope and pray that before too many more weeks have passed we will all be able to return to worship in the Cathedral, although we expect that our services will be considerably different from those we are familiar with. Unfortunately, despite the Scottish Government's opening the way for a limited public worship, we are not yet ready to open the Cathedral. Be assured that we are in conversation with Historic Environment Scotland on a weekly basis and are working with them to make the Cathedral both accessible and safe for the Congregation and visitors.

This morning's  message from Rev Mark Johnstone is based on St Matthew 14; verses 13-21, the story of the feeding of the 5000.   The anthem is Felix Mendelssohn's He is watching over Israel.  Today's hymns include I to the hills and Let us with a gladsome mind.  We hope you will enjoy the service and will also listen to our afternoon podcast which will be available from 4:00.
