​This week's message

Dear All
 
The most enormous thank you to everyone who worked, donated, cooked, organised, sang, prayed and shared in last Sunday, making our Patronal Festival the truly wonderful spiritual and community event which we all experienced.  It was a joy to see so many of you present, including new members of the congregation and several who have moved out of London but returned to rejoice with us on this very special day.  It was very good to be able to give thanks for everyone who has made the church the place it is over the centuries, and to celebrate with the worshippers of today.  Images of he service and event can be found HERE. 
 
In all the excitement, you may also have noticed that at long last, we have beautiful new A-frame noticeboards outside the church, encouraging people to join our services and events.  These were made possible by the kind donation of the Friends of St Mary Abbots, but have taken some
time to be sourced, prepared and delivered.  They are a vivid and fitting reminder of the Friends’  Founding Patron, Steve Atack, who died in May and is so much missed at church, but who, in his generosity and commitment to St Mary Abbots organised this final appeal which will enhance the church’s appearance and our ability to communicate with the parish outside. Our gratitude goes to all the Friends who kindly contributed to the appeal, and we remember Steve, once again, with love and thanks. 
 
We continue, as a church, to hold in our prayers those affected by natural disasters and conflicts across the world: O Lord our God, source of all goodness and love, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies look with compassion upon all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.  Church of England website

With my love and prayers
 
Mother Emma
