Welcome to the Morning Service from Glasgow Cathedral for the 19th of July. 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. We are still considering how best to open for private prayer in line with the Scottish Government's regulations and in as safe a way as we are able.

This morning's  message from Rev Mark Johnstone is on the theme: "All Choked Up". As this is a Communion service we hope you will take a minute to prepare some bread and wide to join with us in the Lord's Table.

Today's offerings from the Choir include Alexander L'Estange's "Lighten our darkness" and  "Adam Lay Ybounden" by Matthew Martin. The hymns include "Defend me Lord" and "Awake my soul". Incidental music was played by Ronald Eyolfson. We hope you will enjoy the service and will also listen to our afternoon podcast which will be available from 4:00.
