And so we reach the last Sunday of the church year with the Festival of Christ the King. Father Chris was away at Walsingham so Father Lawson came to look after us. We had our parish communion service, and Fr Lawson talked to us about the passage from Matthew about the final judgement and how the way we treat each other must reflect our love of Christ.
The Choir sang Ave Verum setting by W.A. Mozart as the Anthem.
Our next big event is the Christmas Market on Saturday 2nd December. Come along and enjoy a Chrismassy French lunch and browse the Christmas goodies on sale!

This morning our al age Eucharist celebrated All Saints Day. For the first time in over a week the weather was dry and the sky clear.
We started our service with the Junior Choir, Sam received his light blue ribbon, and Amelia her dark blue ribbon. Amelia was also invested as Head Chorister with a special medal. The Junior Choir then sang 'Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John' .
The service then proceeded and we sang some well known All Saints hymns. Father Chris spoke about the Saints in his sermon, we came up with quite a few names of saints and learned some we didnt know including Saint Luigi Scrosoppi the patron saint of football! We are all Saints in training and if we follow the directions given to us by Our Lord with his help we will achieve sainthood.
The Choir sang 'Give me the wings of faith' by Bullock as the anthem.
