​This week's message
from
Mother Emma 
Dear all

We look forward to welcoming you to our services this Sunday, as always.  At the 9.30 Eucharist “The Lord is adding to our number”, as we baptise Delphi, Felix, Lochlan and Wilhelmina.   Please may I draw your attention in particular to The Voluntary Choir Evensong at 5.30 pm?  The Voluntary Choir meets at 5 pm, half an hour before the service, to run through the responses, psalm and canticles in Anglican chant, so that they can lead and encourage the rest of the congregation.  If you enjoying singing and would like to join this group, please do come along at 5 pm and give it a try!
​
Next Thursday (14th May) is the Feast of the Ascension.  As the fourth most important feast in the Christian calendar, we are encouraged to come together and remember Jesus’ ascension into Heaven, forty days after Easter.  We shall be offering an Choral Eucharist for Ascension at 12 noon with our professional choir and hope very much that you will be able to join us.  If you are at work, you may well be able to find a church offering a Eucharist either at lunchtime or in the evening near you.

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting is now just one week away on Sunday 17th at 10.30!  If you would like to put your children in the creche, please contact Martina as soon as possible, and if you are a regular Matins attender, please do come early for the meeting.  There will be a shortened version of Choral Matins following the meeting.
 
We continue to prepare for the Summer Fair on Saturday 13th June and a poster and more information will follow in next week’s newsletter.  This year we hope to introduce a strawberries & cream stall, if we have enough volunteers.   If you could help on a stall or might consider making a cake for the homemade cake and ice-lolly stall please let Leonora know.
 
We praise you and we bless you, our risen Lord Jesus, King of glory, for your resurrection is a revelation to the whole world.  As you revealed yourself powerfully to so many, reveal yourself now as the hope for our world.  Amen
 
With my love and prayers, Mother Emma
