15 September 2019
On a glorious sunny early autumn morning we met at 10 am for Sung Mattins. Father Stephen took the service and the choir are now back in session, and this morning we were joined by members of the Junior Choir.
The Psalm set for the day was Psalm 14, and among the canticles, the Choir sang the Benedictus in C major by C V Stanford. The readings were from Isaiah and St Luke, and Father Stephen picked up the theme from the Gospel of the 2 parables of the lost sheep and the widows mite. He pointed out that St Luke often records parables with the same message, in this case the completeness of Gods love, but in each story the protagonist is either a man or a woman. The shepherd, a despised profession in New Testament times, shows care and love for all his sheep and searches out the one that is lost, and the Widow searches for the smallest coin, which to her is of great value. So God searches us out and includes us in his Kingdom even when we are lost.
The Anthem was 'Lord for thy Tender Mercy Sake' by Farrrent.
We remembered in our prayers, especially today, Battle of Britain Sunday, all who keep our nation safe.
Preparations are going ahead for Harvest: On Saturday morning the 27th of September, decorating of the Church from 9:30. On Saturday Evening Harvest Supper, tickets from the Church Wardens, and on Sunday 28th our 10 am service will be a Eucharist of Celebration of Harvest.
Our very good Friend Tom Cooper will give us another recital of piano music on the afternoon of Sunday 20th of October, followed by Tea, all welcome there will be a retiring collection.
