2006 White-Witch-Defying Christmas Party

We have made it a tradition to have a "White -Witch-Defying" Christmas party for our December meeting of the C. S. Lewis Society of Chattanooga. We've decided to have British cuisine this year, so that means turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mince meat pies, and, of course, plum or Christmas pudding. The Christian calendar is so helpful for our spiritual lives, but it also has some fun built into it. I plan to have some fun this Sunday, "Stir Up" Sunday, and make my first ever Christmas pudding and keep it in the fridge for the party. I've found some recipes on the internet, but if you have one you really love, I'd like to know about it. I'd also appreciate any advice you may have.
Ah, the joys of Anglican traditions.

A Sea Shanty for St. Michael and All Angels

Audio of the song “He Made the Devil Fall” - a “Sea Shanty” (Luke 10:18; Rev. 20:10) Beckmann, Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, 2023 Jesus, he came to Galilee And he made the devil fall! And called the twelve to with him be. And he made the devil fall! Refrain: He made the devil fall, my boys, He makes the devil fall! Christ the King will come again, And he’ll make the devil fall! Ho! To them his pow'r was freely giv'n, And he made the devil fall! And Satan fell like light’ning from heav'n, And he made the devil fall! He purged our sins; his vict'ry won! And he made the devil fall! And rose again to take his throne. And he made the devil fall! He sent St. Michael with his sword, And he made the devil fall! And cast that dragon to the earth, And he made the devil fall! He’ll send an angel, the devil to take And he’ll make the devil fall! And cast him into the fiery lake! And he’ll make the devil fall!

What is Evensong?

Here are a few articles explaining the Anglican tradition of Evensong: From Ad Fontes: https://christhum.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/liturgy-bits-a-spotters-guide-to-evensong/ Here's an article on Evensong from Classic FM: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/what-is-evensong-how-long-service/ The Religious News Service: https://religionnews.com/2017/08/30/evensong-sees-a-surge-even-as-british-church-attendance-declines/ From choralevensong.org/uk: https://www.choralevensong.org/uk/about-choral-evensong-724.php For some reason, you have to go to "Read More" to use the links. It helps to differentiate between "Evensong" proper, which is the Evening Prayer service sung by officiants and congregation, and "Choral Evensong", which is the Evening Prayer mostly sung by a choir.
