[Magdalen] A little IT help, please

[Grace Cangialosi]

I ended up recording the service and posting it on our FB page, which worked just fine. I’ve been streaming either Evening Prayer or Compline every evening from home.
I may do Morning Prayer on Sunday, either from church or home, maybe asking one or two folks to come and read.

Still pondering Palm Sunday through Easter...
