Another very busy weekend for St Mary our Lady. On Saturday morning the choir were again invited to take part in the Eucharist organised by the Prayer Book Society in Chichester Cathedral. This Eucharist uses the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer, which is used less often these days. The setting used was that by Darke in F major, and the anthem was Ave Verum in the setting by W.A.Mozart. It is a wonderful experience for our village choir to be able to sing in our 'Mother Church' the Cathedral, and the choir greatly appreciates the support from members of the congregation who came along to the service.
In the evening we gathered in the Church Hall for our Harvest Supper, over 70 people came to join in the festivities, and a fine meal of cold meats, salad, tomatoes potato salad, apple pie and cheese and biscuits was consumed with relish by all! Our entertainments this year were some excellent readings and some brain challenging Quizes! It was a fine evening enjoyed by all. A big thank you to the organising team!!!
