In glorious sunshine we met for our family service of Holy Communion today to celebrate both the Anniversary of the Coronation and the Feast of Corpus Christie the celebration of the initiation of the sacrament of Holy Communion.
During the service the Sunday School, with the help of a couple of adults, performed a sketch in which God (represented by Churchwarden Janet Harland) the Queen (Interpreted by Dame Jenny Trimble) and and ordinary Christian member of Sunday School, had a discussion about Faith, Duty, our understanding of what God wants from us, and the tolerance of other religions, the dialogue was instructive and amusing and the participants received a well deserved round of aapplause!
During the Communion the choir sang 'Rejoice in the Lord Always' and at the end of the service, following special prayers for the Queen we sang the first two verses of the National Anthem. Joanna played 'Crown Imperial' at the end of the service.

Don't forget the Jazz Smugglers visit on Sunday 16th June at 7:30. On Sunday 30th June we will be celebrating 'Sea Sunday' when we shall be blessing the hats knitted at the Knit-a -thon before they are sent off to the Mission to Seafarers and we shall have a guest preacher from the Mission.
