We met for our 10:00 am Eucharist on a grey and wintry day. We are now well into Lent and the church is decked in purple and bare of any flowers, the mood matched the weather!
Non the less we continue our joyful and penitent celebration of the Eucharist. In his sermon Father Stephen discussed how we deal with anger, an emotion that can be useful if controlled as is shown in the Gospel account of Jesus clearing the moneylenders from the Temple. It can also be toxic if not controlled and lead to extreme views which are dangerous in any faith.
The Choir sang 'Teach me oh Lord the way of thy statures' words from Psalm 119, setting by Thomas Attwood as the anthem. There was coffee after the service.
There was also some BIG NEWS on Friday last week we heard that we had been granted Planning Permission for the New Parish Rooms!!!!! there are still a few administrative hurdles to jump but this is a great piece of news and means we have moved closer to actually building by quite a long way. Many congratulations to the committee, and especially to Church Warden Chris Field and our Architect Jane Jones Warner who has been fantastic!!
Next Sunday will be a family Eucharist to celebrate Mothering Sunday, but if you are a regular at Mattins, please note this will take place the following Sunday!
