We battled our way through the high winds of storm Ciara to our 10 am Parish Eucharist this morning. Despite the conditions we had a good congregation, although some of the older folk had not ventured out! Father Stephen was the celebrant and also preached the sermon. The first reading, from St Paul's letter to the Corinthians and the Gospel from St Matthew were the subject that Father Stephen explored in his talk. Jesus says we are the light of the world, and that this must show through in our daily life as a beacon of God's love, our community of faith, and the Holy Spirit strengthen us for this role in life.
The choir sang 'Fairest Lord Jesus' the words from a traditional German Protestant Hymn and the setting by Schlerisische Volksliede written in 1842.
After the service there was coffee and a jewelry sale in the Rooms.
The Lent Course will take place in the Vicarage on Thursday evenings, starting on the Thursday in the week following Ash Wednesday, more details to follow.
