​This week's message
from
Mother Emma 
Dear all
 
How wonderful it was for our community to come together for our Patronal Service and lunch on Sunday!  It was a perfect opportunity for us to praise God for his goodness to us as a church, and also to get to know people from the different congregations which make up the Body of Christ at St Mary Abbots.  We are so grateful for all those who contributed to the service: musicians, virgers, servers, those who cleaned and did the flowers, parish office staff and my fellow clergy, as well as everyone who came and added their prayers, praise and voices to the worship. Immense thanks too, for the great generosity of everyone who donated money, wine or food for the feast afterwards, and to Leonora and her team of volunteers who prepared and served it – it was a joy to be able to host so many in the garden, where miraculously, the rain stopped and the sun came out!  Once again, I felt so very fortunate to serve such a community.
 
As we now settle back into term, we are already looking ahead to a number of very different events.  On October 7th, we shall be hosting another of the Victorian Society’s talks, “The Lost Gardens of London”  Tickets for talks can be purchased HERE, and 50% of the money raised goes to the church.   On 23rd October, we are holding an evening entitled “De-mystifying Death”, for those of you who would like to consider the meaning and theology of a Christian funeral, and possibly to think about designing a funeral outline for yourselves, to spare relatives from having to imagine what you would like (Fr Evan and I will both be sharing our own plans!).  On 24th October, there will be a Quiz Night in the Theatre at St Mary Abbots Centre, organised by present and former churchwardens, Ed and Jamie.  They will be asking people to book tables of eight, so please start thinking about your dream team now…tickets are available HERE. 
 
We look forward to seeing you both in church on Sundays as we proclaim and celebrate our shared faith, and at our many events, which serve the dual purpose of drawing us more closely together as a community and of raising the funds we need in order to provide services, keep our buildings in good condition and care for those who come to us in need.
 
Faithful shepherd of your people, as we look for the light of your countenance, restore in us the image of your glory and graft us into the risen life of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.   [Response to Psalm 80, Common Worship Daily Prayer]
 
With my love and prayers
 
Mother Emma
