This morning are Eucharist a celebration of St Mary our Patron. There are many feast days associated with St Mary Our Lady, this is the feast celebrating her birth, and we take the opportunity to honour the mother of Our Lord to whom our lovely church is dedicated.

Our Hymns reflected the theme, and as the Choir are now back in session we had an anthem Ave Maria, in the setting by Elgar.

Father Roger gave the sermon, and he told us about the few biblical references to Mary, and some of the traditions about her that have become accepted over the centuries, and some adopted by the church as doctrine. What ever the background of some of these beliefs, we acknowledge and celebrate our Patron as the Mother of Our Lord.

The sunday school is now back in session, and the children and helpers joined us for the communion and the final prayers and hymn.

Tickets are now available from the Church Wardens for our Harvest Supper on the 28th of September.
