The good parishioners of St. Mary and Peter in Harlaxton village prepared a welcoming service for us this morning. The church building dates from the 13th century with a major addition in the 15th century.
About 30 of the students and a number of faculty attended the service. The accompanist provided a selection of American tunes as a prelude including patriotic and spiritual offerings, as well as the Largo from the New World Symphony, a lovely touch.
