Pillocks

We can thank Father David Mead for the title of this week's blog. It was from a phrase that he used in his stimulating semon - 'God sometimes choses pillocks'. Unfortunately, I haven't got a picture that can augment this phrase. Father David runs a retreat centre near St Austell and will also be addressing the next 'big breakfast' - choirboy and a small number of other parishioners will be taking advantage of this opportunity to eat and reflect on our roles, as men, within the Church.
This Sunday we sang Amen - we will sing for the first time and choirboy was pleased with the result. An example of this prayer can be heard at: -

Unfortunately Jimmy has probably broken a bone in his strumming hand and Maz has been ill, so we were again rather musician-lite. However, it was great to see a hoarse Maz on Monday at practice when everyone was in very good form. For those who wish to hear 'We come to Your table', there is an example at: -

With a bit of luck we will be singing this in a few weeks as well as a new mass setting for Lent.
