HEXHAM ABBEY
The Priory and Parish Church of St Andrew
Sunday 22nd March
Fifth Sunday of Lent Passion Sunday
Welcome to the Abbey today as we gather for worship
and fellowship, as we enter into the final two weeks
before Easter known as Passiontide. Welcome if you
are visiting today. During communion all are welcome to
come forward for bread and wine or a blessing – if for a
blessing simply keep your head bowed. We do hope
you can stay for refreshments in the South Transept
after Parish Eucharist.
 Junior Church please join the opening procession and you
will be guided to your group in the Priory Buildings.
 Sunday Tots (0-5) make your way to the Priory Buildings
through the Cloister Porch door during the first hymn.

Bach Lent Series - Bringing to a close our Lenten J S Bach
organ series today is his "Dorian" Toccata and Fugue in D
minor, BWV 538. The toccata shows off Bach's use of two
base registrations, or sounds, at the same time. These two
registrations are heard both in response as well as all
together towards the end. The Fugue is opposite in nature
and is both long and complex. It involves a slow and
syncopated fugue subject; there are many examples of
chromaticism and suspensions which help build to a grand
climax at the end. This piece was written between 1708 and
1717, when Bach was working in Weimar.
Confirmation - If you are interested in exploring
confirmation, please contact Michelle or Dagmar; or
come to an informal gathering in church after the 10am
service today.

envelopes on the South Transept table. If you are a tax
payer, please ensure you complete the GiftAid details
on the envelope.
