Flowers at our patronal festival

We celebrated our Patronal Festival on 28th June 2015. Thanks to a lot of hard work the day before, the church was filled with white and golden flowers which enhanced our worship.

Several members of the congregation had joined the choir for a music workshop the previous weekend when they learned the anthem ‘Cantate Domino’ by Dave and Jean Perry. It was good to have additional voices singing with the choir, and we hope this will be repeated for special occasions in the future. The anthem was one that members of the choir had sung in Glasgow recently at the Triennial Festival held by the Royal School of Church Music.

After our morning Eucharist we enjoyed a bring and share lunch in the Threshold Centre next to the church. Thanks to all who brought food, prepared tables, served and helped clear up.

Our Patronal Festival marks the start of our summer season when there will be no services of Matins, Alive For Christ or Evensong. On the first Sunday of July and August there will be a Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am.
