Dear all
A quick reminder that this afternoon, Thursday 15th May, there is a free concert in church at 1pm by students from the Cornerstone University Chorale. If you are wondering how to spend your lunch hour this would be a wonderful suggestion! This Sunday we shall be continuing with our sermon series at the Eucharist with Fr Tim preaching from Revelation, and at Matins I have invited a member of the West Middlesex Family History Society to come and speak to us at the Notices. The Society has been compiling a report on the gravestones outside the church and the memorials inside, and will be presenting it to us, while sharing one or two of their findings. We are grateful to them for their hard work, (much of which was done in unpleasant wintry weather), which will preserve information for future generations. As we rejoice in the beautiful summer weather, we continue to be very excited about our Summer Garden Party kindly sponsored by Winkworth, Kensington on Saturday 7th June, which will start at 11.30 with a trio of musicians from the Royal College of Music, followed by a session with Action Amanda and other entertainers, a Bouncy Castle and children’s games, and much more! We are asking for volunteers to serve a stint on the BBQ, or Bar, Ice-cream stand, tea and cake stand, or consider donating cakes and other goodies for sale. The Garden Party is a wonderful annual event, with activities for children, delicious food and drink, uplifting music, and a chance to socialize with members of our community in very relaxed surroundings. We would love to see you there, whether you have attended before or if this is your first time! Please let Leonora know if you can volunteer of if you are able to bring a cake. For those who enjoyed the lecture in March on the Nicene Creed – or those who were sorry to miss it - we are offering a second lecture from Father Jarell Robinson-Brown on Saturday 14th June. More details can be found here, but please do mark the date in your diary, along with Ascension on 29th May. A reminder that our Annual Parochial Church Meeting will take place next Wednesday (21st May) at 6.30 pm. Everyone is very welcome to attend, and to vote for new members of the Parochial Church Council, who act as Trustees for the Church and meet every couple of months to decide our way forward under God. We would be very glad to see you there, and are always happy to receive feedback from those who attend about the work, worship and community of St Mary Abbots. Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation. In your loving care you spread before us the table of life and give us the cup of salvation to drink. Keep us always in the fold of our Saviour and our Shepherd, your risen Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen [Times and Seasons, Easter provision] With my love and prayers Mother Emma 15th May 2025 |
