The third Sunday of February, finds us with Mattins as our 10. am service. As we are now in Lent, the Canticles we sang were the Venite, the Benedicitie and the Jubilate Deo, in addition to the psalm set for the day. The readings, from the King James Bible were from Genesis and St Luke's Gospel. In the Sermon Father Stephen considered God's message to Abram that his seed should be as the stars in the sky, and how Abram's faith, even at his great age, that he should have an heir was eventually to be true. The Choir sang Lord for thy tender Mercy's Sake by Farrant. There was coffee after the service. Please note the third Sunday in March will be Palm Sunday, so Mattins will be held on the second Sunday in the month, Passion Sunday.
