This morning we met for our Family Eucharist on a sunny but cool morning. The Children of the Sunday School told us about the lives of St Philip and St James who's feast's occur this week. More is known about St James who appears in the Gospels as a fisherman,  brother to St John, one of the 'Sons of Thunder' , St Philip was from the town of Bethesda, the same place that the brothers Peter and Andrew came from. He introduced Nathaniel, sometimes called Bartholomew, to Jesus.  This morning’s music reflected that we are still in Eastertide,, with seasonal hymns A brighter dawn is breaking, sung to an old German tune, and Sidney Carter’s Lord of the dance, for which he used the American folk tune ‘Simple Gifts’. At Communion the choir sang Charles Wood’s arrangement of This joyful Eastertide.
