St. George's Anglican Church - Owen Sound, Ontario, will be conducting a special service of rememberance and prayer for those who have experience tragedy on the seas. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the RMS Titanic this special service will, as much as possible, replicate the Worship Service that was held on Sunday, April 14th, 1912. Thus, the service will be Morning Prayer, using the Church of England Book of Common Prayer, 1662 edition. Readings for this service will also from the BCP 1662 edition. A few details are still to be worked out (i.e. Hymns). Invitations will be sent out to shipping companies, Georgian College, and other persons involved in the continuing marine life and activities in the area. |
