The Big Day is Here
The St. Peter’s Residency at St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, comes to its culmination on Sunday, August 13. We have had a wonderful week, and it’s hard to believe that it’s coming so rapidly to its close! Thursday’s “day off” included a trip to Hampton Court, which dates to the time of King Henry VIII. We …

Wednesday was rainy and cool in London – not very surprising, even in August! Like true Londoners (which some of us feel like we are becoming), we opened our brellies and carried on, enjoying as many indoor sites as we could find.

London has so much to …
St. Peter’s Choir is in Residence!
Every member of St. Peter’s Choir will remember Monday, August 7, 2017 for the rest of their life.

Even though worship has been occurring in this location …

Some of us slept, some dozed, others were awake the entire time. Whether we slept or not, we were all a bit groggy, so we settled into the hotel and hostel, and took …
So, What’s the Plan?
The choir members and most of their “groupies” (spouses, family, and friends who are traveling to London with us) travel overnight Friday, and we’ll land in London bright and early the next morning. Saturday, August 5, will be one of our two “days of rest and relaxation,” so we’ll take it easy that day, adjust …
