The Collect for #blackfridaytide Almighty God, give us the wisdom to decide which merch we want for ourselves, and which we want for our friends, that we may delight in these things; and grant us the strength to resist buying absolutely everything, even with such exceptional savings and discounts on offer. Amen.

After Ordinary Time, after Remembrancetide, somewhere within Kingdom Season, before Advent, comes #blackfridaytide. It's not just a discount sale, it's a liturgical season. Spend £60 or more, get £10 off. Runs Monday 11 to Saturday 30 November. Get ready. #blackfridaytide

@MusicOfLee You're not. It was meant as you hope: supportive. Never intended to be anything other. Sorry it came across otherwise.

Quoted, not screenshot, because I *believe* they meant well by it even if I disagree with the approach. (...and I'm desperately hoping I'm not about to be proved wrong...)

Am I misinterpreting this or is this a little tone-deaf?

[not a meme] Not a day for memes. Just sharing love and support through music.

On this day, 100 years ago, 4 November 1924, Gabriel Fauré died. As a mark of respect, the altos will keep a moment's silence during tonight's performance of his Requiem.

For his mercy endureth forever.

Waiting for the Tory leadership result is like altos waiting to hear which tenor is singing The Record of John.

Hoodies! Our popular Neume War tees now available as hoodies. Choose between (or take both): A NEUME HOPE quiresandplaces.com/products/a-neu… It is a period of choral war. Rebel scholars, singing with a hidden bass, have won their first victory against the evil Lay Clerks. During the battle, rebel choristers managed to steal secret plans to the Lay Clerks' ultimate weapon, the LOCAL BAR, a well-stocked pub with enough beer to destroy an entire Sunday morning. Pursued by the Lay Clerks' sinister organ scholar, the Alto Scholar races home in her cassock, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her singers and restore freedom to the quire stalls... STRANGE NEUME WORLDS 🖖 quiresandplaces.com/products/stran… Choir: the final frontier. These are the designs of the website Quires and Places. It's four-year (and counting) commitment: to make strange neume worlds; to seek out niche memes and nerdy choristers; to boldly wear what no choir has worn before. The designs: • Firstly, it's neumes. • The theme is either an iteration of John Williams' classic score, or the opening motif from pretty much every Star Trek series ever • The Latin words translate, roughly, as either "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" or "live long and prosper". • The titles are, well, hopefully obvious... Put on glorious apparel.

Introit (All Saints)

In case you haven't got a costume sorted for tonight.
