On a beautiful sunny spring morning we had matins, and being in Lent had a few different psalms.
The choir sang the Jubilate in C major by Stanford and the Benedicite.
Father Stephen's sermon referred to both the Old and New testament readings this morning. The first reading was from Genesis 15 and Father Stephen told us it is a difficult piece to understand, so he referred back to one of the august tomes from his student days to try and make sense of it. In the end, maybe it is just sheer mystery! But maybe this is a cop out.
In the Old Testament, there are many examples of covenants with God, and these are usually accompanied by a sign, eg the rainbow after the flood. Day changes to night and a torch is passed around. Abram falls into a deep sleep troubled by visions.
In the New Testament Jesus calls Herod a fox, unusual as he rarely resorts to "name calling", Jesus is The Dove.
Elsewhere Jesus tells us to love our enemies.
The two passages tell us that the Bible is not an "easy to follow guide to life", but actually reflects life's ups and downs and difficulties.
Trust in God's loving purpose for us all.
The choir's anthem was Hide Not Thy Face From Us by Farrant.
Easter fast approaches and the flower team are planning their Easter displays. If you wish to purchase a lily for Easter, often in memory of a loved one or just because yo would like to contribute, they will be £4 each. Please give your money to Anwyl in good time.
