Although this is the second Sunday in March we had Matins as our 10:00am service, This is because next Sunday will be Palm Sunday and a Eucharistic Service. So for Passion Sunday we had Sung Matins, with readings from the King James version of the Bible. The canticles and the psalm were those for Lent, and the Choir sang the Jubilate Deo in the setting by CV Stanford in C major. The Gospel was the story of Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus' feet with costly ointment, and in his sermon Father Stephen talked about this event pointing towards Jesus' Passion to come. We had been discussing death and the afterlife in the Lent Group, in what he described as a rather jolly and positive way, a universal belief in the resurrection in Jesus links all Christians, and living or dead we are all in the arms of Our Lord.
The Choir sang the Ave Verum setting by WA Mozart as the anthem.There was coffee after the service.
The Music Sale yesterday raised £203, thanks to every one who took part!
