A few of my Facebook followers have asked if they could have a copy of the Celtic Eucharist Service I used on Tuesday 12 April 2022 at St Margaret’s, Fish Hoek. It is a similar service I’ve used in the past at St Paul’s Rondebosch and St Francis Simon’s Town. Here is the ‘full script’ edition. The passages in red in the service itself are from David Adam’s book The Open Gate: Celtic Prayers for Growing Spiritually published by Triangle-SPCK in 1994. The opening explanation has texts from numerous other books on Celtic Poetry etc. I had great fun compiling, editing and DTP’ing it. Other parishes may use it with pleasure. Can I suggest that you get a good reader of poetry to read the parts in red so as to create a contrast from the priest and try to choose hymns that either have Celtic words or music to keep the theme throughout.
Click here for a pdf document of the complete script, but without the words for the hymns.
