This Sunday was the third of the month, and therefore our 10 o'clock service was Mattins. Once again the readings were from the King James version of the Bible, we sang the Benedicitie as set by Lloyd. The Choir sang 'The Crown of Roses' music by Tchaikovsky, from 'Songs for the Young'.
Do look at the latest set of plans for the new annex the Parish Rooms. They are displayed on the board at the back of the church.
We are preparing for the great journey through Holy Week to Easter Sunday, please do join us for the Holy Week services, Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, The Maundy Thursday service, the Cross of Christ on Good Friday at 2:00pm, and the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. As Fr Stephen pointed out, the great joy of Easter Morning is intensified by taking part in the Holy Week services with their opportunity to contemplate the suffering of Christ prior to his Glorious Resurrection.
Our next fund raising event will be a concert by Tom Cooper Price on the afternoon of Sunday 21st April at 3:00pm in Church, followed by Tea, every one welcome, a retiring collection will be taken up.
Dont Forget Next Sunday, Palm Sunday procession with Palms plus after the Service the Annual Parish Meeting. If you are on the Electoral roll, or regularly worship at St Mary's you are welcome to this meeting, come and hear what we have achieved in the last year, and our plans for next year!!!
