Christian Unity ?


This 3 rd Sunday in Ordinary Time coincided with the time of the year when we have a week of prayer for Christian unity. We were fortunate to have Mr Philip Reece from Newquay URC preaching to us, while our own Deacon Brian was preaching at St Michael's, Newquay. Before mass Choirboy was accosted by Father Stephen in relation to comments made on these pages about the length of his sermons. Even Mrs Choirboy has had a go at poor Father Stephen. We shall see if this collective nagging has any effect - the clock will be ticking. Meanwhile, our music liturgy today included something from Westminster Hymnal (as requested by Bernard's mother) as well as Choirboys first memorial acclamation composition which was based on his Newquay mass setting.
Regular readers will have probably noticed that the link in last weeks post does not work very well. Choirboy spends many hours trying to fix IT issues both at home and at work - he will give this one some more time when he feels able !
Today we lacked a number of musicians to various committments: - mothering, rugby and we know not what. Hopefully, we will have our regulars back next week.
