25 March 2019
This morning our 10 am Service was Sung Eucharist. Father Stephen was the celebrant. On a lovely spring morning we came together to praise God and continue our Lenten contemplation.
The Gospel was from St Luke Chapter 13, the story of the unproductive fig tree. The gardener persuades the owner to allow him to mulch and cultivate the fig tree for another year even though it is unproductive.
In his sermon Father Stephen talked about our approach to Lent, we usually give things up for Lent, and perhaps the discipline we need to apply is one of restraint!
The Choir sang 'O Saviour of the World' by John Goss (1800 to 1880) as the Anthem.
After the service there was coffee in the parish rooms.
Please note the services for the next few weeks are out of our usual pattern.
Next Sunday the 31st of March is Mothering Sunday and will be a Family Service.
The Following Sunday the 7th of April will be Mattins
The 14th April will be a Eucharist with the Passion Gospel for Palm Sunday. This will be followed by the Annual Parish Meeting at 11:30 in the rooms. In the afternoon/evening there will be a come and sing performance of The Crucifixion by John Stainer. If you would like to sing -- all are welcome, the rehearsal will be at 3:30, with the performance at 6 pm please come and listen. It is a great start to the Holy Week devotions.
For services in Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter Saturday and Sunday, please see the calendar.
more details will be posted here in due course.
