This morning our 10 o'clock service was Mattins. In Epiphany we continue to trace the life of Our Lord prior to the beginning of his ministry. Our Bible readings at Mattins are from the King James version, the Gospel story, from St John's Gospel described the testament of John the Baptist to the descent of the Spirit onto Jesus at his baptism, and the recruitment of the first disciples including
Simon Peter
In his sermon Father Stephen spoke about the need for revival and renewal of our faith, which sometimes burns low and that re invigoration leads us on to new aspects of our Christian Life.
The Choir sang the Benedictus in the setting by C.V. Stanford, and as the anthem 'The Lamb' by John Tavener.
There was coffee after the service.
Coming up rapidly is the Mexican Supper on 28th January, get your tickets from the Church Wardens. Our next event will be on February 11th in the Church Hall when there will be a Cheese and Wine evening, at which you can view the video recordings of the Fete and the Entertainments from the Harvest Supper!
