The triumph of the cross

I 'borrowed' this picture from here. An Anglican Church with the same name as ourselves - fitting as apart from our normal mass, today we were able to join with Churches Together in Newquay at a Songs of Praise event at Newquay harbour to mark the end of the annual Fish Festival. Our chosen hymn 'Shine Jesus shine' was somewhat shorter than Graham Kendrick had intended (by one line). The cause of this was, as Mary O'D had predicted, due to lack of proof reading of the printed order of service. The consequence was yours truly and Jimmy completely out of kilter with the congregation which caused us some difficulty which we managed to resolve by end of the final chorus.
Our mass today was interupted by a mobile phone during the consecration (Father Mark said nothing - perhaps he didn't hear it) and finished with a rather risque joke. Sunday's will never cease to amaze and apall sometimes in equal measure - did I mention the Dambuster's March ? Well maybe another time, but just try and imagine singing a hymn to this well known piece of music. Not possible ? Well not quite impossible - we tried it at our Songs of Praise !

Entry : - We walk by faith

Gloria: -

Alleluia : - Plymouth Alleluia

Credo/I believe

Offertory: - Take our bread

Sanctus:: -Gathering Mass

Mystery of faith : - Dying you destroyed our death
Amen Amen, Amen, Amen We will sing of Your love forever. We will sing Your praise forever Amen. Amen, Amen, Amen

Agnus Dei (Newquay Mass #2)
Lamb of God, Lamb of God, You take away, the sin of all the world (repeat)
Lord have mercy on us and grant us Your peace. Grant us Your peace.

Communion: - Sweet Sacrament divine
Open out eyes to see

Recession: - Oh Lord, all the world belongs to You
