All Saints Dunedin

Palm Sunday was (thankfully) drier this year, with the service including the blessing of two bells from St Chad's Middlemarch and St Stephen's Hampden that are going to be installed in a new belfry on All Saints' hall.

On the Maundy Thursday eucharist, after the washing of feet, the church was stripped and the Host taken to the Chapel of Repose... while the choir chanted a Psalm. Earlier, they performed a wonderful version of Ubi Caritas.
