Our Family service for the first Sunday of the month coincided with Mothering Sunday. Our service was lead by the Sunday School, who gave us a presentation where two young people from the Sunday school and their Mums played a version of 'Mr and Mrs' to see how well the youngsters knew their Mums! It underlined the important theme of appreciating our Mothers, and also our Mother Church.

We also had the pleasure of admitting James as our newest young chorister. He was presented to Father Stephen by Mrs Chivers-Gibbs and Miss Rodd, given his cassock, and certificate of membership, and then joined the other junior choristers to sing Lead me Lord, with the support of selected members of the senior choir.

The Choir sang the Magnificat in the setting by C.V.Stanford in B flat as the anthem.

After the Eucharist the Sunday School members distributed posies of flowers to their mothers and to other ladies of the congregation. There was coffee after the service.

Next Saturday morning in the Church Hall there will be a sale of Music, (CDs and sheet music) from 10 to 12 there will be  refreshments served, do join us and browse the stalls and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Proceeds to the Church New Rooms Project!
