This Sunday, the third in the month our 10 o'clock service was Mattins. The Service was particularly well attended as it was rather a special one. The choir sang 'Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes' by Thomas Attwood, words from Psalm 119, as the anthem. At the end of the service we were joined by the Sunday school, who had
all brought their Teddy Bears to church. Father Stephen told us that the
Bears had been in intensive training, as they were doing a parachute
jump from the top of the church tower after the service. He was
confident that no bears would be injured in the jump. He then blessed
the children and their bears, and the choir sang 'The Teddy Bears
Picnic' (words by Jimmy Kennedy, music by John Bratton arranged by
Andrew Carter). The children then went outside and prepared their bears
parachutes. The teddy bears were then taken up the tower (by two adults) and
parachuted off!! The bears were sponsored in their jumps, and the money
will go to support the Family Support Worker for the Chichester
Diocese, thanks to every one who sponsored a bear!! The children and
their parents then enjoyed a picnic lunch of their own.
Dont forget to come to the Fete on Saturday!!!!
