Communications Sunday ?

Today was not as it happens 'Communications Sunday' but perhaps it could have been 'Miscommunication Sunday'. Choirboy was somewhat flumoxed on his arrival at Church this morning to find new hymn books on the benches. We are fortunate that a mystery benefactor has donated sufficient funds to purchase 200 Laudate Hymnals. Of course this is great news but Choirboy had prepared the liturgy using CFE hymnal and its very different hymn numbers. A migraine-inducing frantic 10 minutes of photocopying followed until all was resolved but even Choirboy minor (#4) managed to make an uncharacteristic dyslexic error with the number of the final hymn which was spotted in time by some eagle-eyed choristers. Sadly our old hymn books are now paper pulp rather than being stored for a rainy day/use by another needy Church.
You may be forgiven for thinking that we may have (following last week's McCartney interlude) had a song by the great songsmith Bob Dylan as part of our celebrations. No, I post the picture to illustrate the news that our Mass times are being altered. Fortunately our 1030 celebration is safe for the moment (for full story go to http://www.holytrinitynewquay.co.uk/). So the times they are a changin but the song remains the same (two song titles in there somewhere).
