Our gospel today was the parable of the mustard seed and Deacon Brian preached on the importance of faith and how it can lead us to salvation. Indeed he reminded us of an old Frederick Faber hymn, Faith of Our Fathers ; http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Faith_of_Our_Fathers
The link provides the words and a midi song file to the tune on Wikipedia. Choirboy was reminded that his gift of faith was nurtured by his parents, firstly through Baptism and then through encouragement (sometimes not as gentle as choirboy would have liked) both in word and deed. He realised some time ago of the great responsibility that parenthood brings in terms of fostering this gift and helping our children develop a meaningful relationship with God and His Church. This responsibility is to all around us not just our own children, something which we hope to develop at Holy Trinity.
Musically today we had two Marian hymns and our Saturday evening congregation enjoyed music thanks to Bob our newly seconded alternate organist.
