Dear all
On Sunday, as we enter the 3rd week of Lent, we look forward to hearing from Paloma, from homeless charity Glass Door at both our 9.30 Choral Eucharist and 11.15 Choral Matins. St Mary Abbots have been working with Glass Door for many years, raising money at their annual sleep out in the autumn and occasionally the London Walk in the spring. It will be great to hear about the difference the charity makes to so many in need of homes or help transitioning from homelessness. Before we know it Palm Sunday and Holy Week will be upon us. Tickets have now gone on sale for Handel’s Messiah, parts II and III – so please put the date in your diaries and purchase your tickets HERE. This candlelit concert with our professional choir and the Purcell Players will take place on 13 April at 5.30pm – please come and support them. We are now looking for a new Hall Manager for St Mary Abbots Centre after the return to Greece of our much-loved Dimitrios Spanos. The Hall Manager plays a significant role in the day-to-day life of the parish and we are eager to reconstitute our team – so if you know anyone who could be the next St Mary Abbots Centre Hall Manager, please pass on our advert which can be found HERE. Steve Atack, Founding member of the Friends of St Mary Abbots, has sent an update regarding their Noticeboard fundraising campaign. The first stage is now complete, but now they turn their attention to raising funds for the notice boards around the outside of the church. To find out how to help with this please read Steve’s message in the newsletter HERE. We remember in our prayers the adults and children preparing for Confirmation as they consider afresh what it means to believe and live as faithful Christians. Grant, O Lord, that they who shall renew the promises and vows of their Baptism, and be confirmed by the Bishop, may receive such a measure of thy Holy Spirit, that they may grow in grace unto their life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (from the 1928 Proposed BCP) And lastly a final call for those wishing to attend the Victorian Society lecture on Pre-Raphaelite Interiors on Monday at 7pm – tickets are available online HERE on the door for £10. In the peace of Christ, Fr Evan 20th March 2025 |
