The New Year Blue Moon Liturgy / Watchnight / Party



Introit: Still got the Blues

Archdruid:  Peace be with blue.
All:  And also with blue.

Archdruid:  Hey there, Mr Blue
All:  We're so pleased to be with you.

The Archdruid (or it may be a member of the Chelsea Supporters' Club): Blue is the Colour
All:  The future's light blue, the future's Man City

Notices
Archdruid: Just the one.  The local Methodist minister was hoping to join us tonight, in lieu of a Wesleyan watchnight service.  But unfortunately he broke a tooth on a hymn sandwich.  Nasty.


Hymn: Blue Moon


Reading: Numbers 15:38.  

All: So why don't the Evos insist on that as well, then?

The New Year Easter Sermon

Statement of Blue Belief

All:  

We believe in Blue
Colour of the heavens, 
the sea and also of smurfs.
lying in the spectrum at approximately 470nm.
And also in Turquoise
Calming colour of the spirit
suitable for tracksuits and loonies alike.
And we believe in Cobalt
Atomic number 27
So useful in magnetic devices and high-strength alloys.
And also in blue ceramic tiles.
It burns with the brightest of blue.

Hymn: Don't it make my brown eyes blue



Archdruid: Still ages till the Big Moment.  Any ideas?

The Beaker Band perform their tribute to ELO's
Out of the Blue.  For three hours.

All:  Thank goodness that's over with.


The Liturgy of Midnight

We wait for the bells of Big Ben.  Then realise there is no radio or TV in St Bogwulf's chapel, so it's not going to happen.  Nor will the authentic Beaker sundial that Hnaef has brought with him be of any use.

Archdruid: OK, it's five to by my watch, five past by Young Keith's, exactly midnight by Burton's and 1662 according to the Prayer Book Society.

All: Let's rock and roll! 

The singing of Auld Lang Syne

Rapid swapping of hi-viz from blue to red for the New Year.

Recessional - New Year's Day.   (appropriate as we wake up under blood-red eyes.) 


By Episcopal decree, the toilet cleaners for this year's Watchnight Party were Bloo.
And for those of you watching in black and white, the blue ball is the one behind the green.
