[Magdalen] Readings?

[Scott Knitter]

We kept Corpus Christi as well, with outdoor Eucharistic procession and
Benediction.   WIth all the readings... from the provision listed as "Of
the Holy Eucharist" in the BCP.  Last Sunday with the full choir until
Michaelmas. They'll sing Evensong today at 4.
