We met for our 10 am Eucharist on a very wet and windy day, one of a very wet and windy week! Today we have many Saints to remember, St Edward the Confessor, St Wilfrid, and today a new British Saint St John Henry Newman.
Our readings this morning were from St Paul's letter to Timothy and the Gospel told the story of Jesus curing the 10 lepers, of which only one came back to say thank you. In his Sermon, Father Stephen told us of the significance of this story. Jesus and his disciples were travelling in the border country between Israel and Samaria. The Jewish people were enemies of the Samaritans, whom they considered to be blasphemous pagans. The group of people with leprosy were both Jewish and Samaritan and Jesus cured them all, but the man who came back to say thank you was a Samaritan. We all need to be aware of the great gifts we have received and be thankful.
The anthem was 'Let thy merciful ears O Lord' by Thomas Mudd. there was coffee after the service.
Do come and join us for the piano recital by Tom Cooper next Sunday at 3:00pm. This concert is dedicated to the memory of Guy Borer, a long standing member of our Choir who died last week. There will be tea after the concert so do come along, retiring collection for the Church to improve the path from the car park to the church, which is much needed
