| Christingle |
This Sunday, being the first sunday in the month combined our Family Eucharist, with the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple or Candlemas, and our Christingle celebration. The Junior Choir sang 'This Little Light of Mine' and the Christingle Hymn while the christingles were lit and distributed.The story of the presentation by Mary of her son Jesus, in the Temple and Simeon's prediction of his future was told. The Choir sang 'When Mary to the Temple went' words translated from the German by J Troutbeck, music by Johannes Eccard (1553-1611). The christingles were taken home to be lit again, and of course for the sweets to be eaten.

The snow having all melted away, our service of Parish Eucharist this Sunday was accompanied by a promise of spring, with the first snowdrops flowering in the church yard. The Gospel, from St Luke describes Jesus first declaration of his ministry following his baptism. At the Synagogue at his home town of Nazareth, moved by the power of the spirit, he explained that he is the fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy. In his Sermon Father Stephen encouraged us to be open to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and to be changed by our faith in Jesus. Our hymns continued the theme of Epiphany, and the choir sang a communion hymn, 'Ubi Caritas' from the Latin liturgy for Maundy Thursday music by Dom Gregory Murray, an ancient text of christian love and unity.

This Sunday, the Feast of Epiphany, was also our Family Service. The arrival of the Three Kings was marked by readings from two grandparents in the Congregation, accompanied by a representation of the presentation of the gifts of Gold, Myrrh and Frankincense by three members of the sunday school. 'We Three Kings of Orient Are' was the Offertory Hymn. During the communion the Choir sang 'Away in a Manger' melody by W.J. Kirkpatrick arranged by David Willcocks, and 'In the Bleak Midwinter' words by Christina Rossetti, music Harold Darke. Our thoughts and prayers go with all those returning to School, College, and Work this week.
