The first Sunday of September, many people are still on holiday and the Suday School has not yet reconvened, so our family service included intersessions by Janet Harland our Churchwarden, and Father Stephen took the opportunity to give us all a reminder about the symbolism of the servers and the vestments and the process of celebrating the Eucharist, the Chalice and Pattern and how this family meal is conducted as the center of our worship. This was very instructive for the children present but also  for a good many adults as well!! We sang a communion hymn as the Choir are not quite all back from holiday either! Next Sunday we shall celebrate the birth of St Mary our Lady as our Patronal Festival.
