This last Sunday in February our 10 o'clock Eucharist was celebrated by Father Stephen. The Gospel story today was about the fig tree that did not bear fruit, and the owner wished to cut it down, the gardener argued for it to be given another year, and he would tend it to encourage it to fruit. In his sermon Father Stephen discussed perfection and renewal, and he told us that God is like the gardener in the parable and he is patient with us if we strive to be better.
Father Stephen also mentioned an item that had come up in discussion at the Lent group, he asked that we come into Church quietly and talk to God first before the service, keeping our conversation with friends for afterwards during coffee.
The Choir sang 'Call to Remembrance' by Richard Farrant as the Anthem, and Coffee was served afterwards, thanks to Barbara Green.

Next Sunday is Mothering Sunday, and as the first Sunday in March will be our Family Service, do come along with all your family.
