BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, The Gift of Grace

A service from Rugby School on the nature of grace.

Sunday morning service from Rugby School. The chaplain, the Rev Richard Horner, preaches on grace. The Choir of Rugby School is directed by Richard Tanner.

The abundant and surprising nature of God's grace is the subject of worship from the Chapel of Rugby School. As the pupils there and across the country prepare to sit both internal and public exams, the chaplain, the Revd Richard Horner, reflects on the need for grace during the most testing times. What does trust in God's grace really mean when we are under pressure? At a time when young people face so many pressures, the service explores ways to support and enhance their mental health and wellbeing.

The service is introduced by the headmaster, Peter Green and the Choir of Rugby School is directed by Richard Tanner. The music includes Montiverdi's 'Cantate Domino', Harold Darke's 'Kyrie' and John Rutter's 'The Lord's my shepherd'. 

Readings:
Numbers 21:4-9 
Romans 3:19-26 
Matt 20:1-16.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
