This morning at the Parish Eucharist we had a Baptism. Daisy Caroline was admitted to the Family of Christianity in the church where her Parents, Lizzy and Ed, were married, making it a particularly joyful  occasion.
The Gospel for today recounted the story of the Samaritan women at the well who Jesus asks to draw water for him. Father Stephen spoke about this theme of water, and the spiritual well that Christ allows us to draw from. We are refreshed by God in the three indivisible forms of the Trinity.
The Choir sang 'Call to rememberance' words from Psalm 25, setting by Richard Farrant (died 1580)

The service was followed by coffee in the North Transept.We are pleased to report that we now have coffee after all the 10 o'clock services, thanks to the volunteers who have come forward to serve this, and to Janet Harland who sets up the coffee, cups and the urn before the service.

Please come to the Annual Parochial Church meeting on Sunday 13th April after the Palm Sunday Service.

Don't forget the Organ Recital by Daniel Phillips on Sunday April 27th at 3:00 pm in Church followed by tea.
