Service suspended
Bye for now.....
And the hardest part
Was letting go not taking part
That was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start...............

Sticking your neb in..........
Try as Choirboy might today, he found it difficult to avoid thinking of the Boney M song 'By the rivers of Babylon' as today's psalm was almost word for word transcribed by Boney M into their kitch, top-selling 70 s number above. It would, I think (even for choirboy) have been a bridge too far to have sung the psalm in the style of Boney M - but then again.....
With an enforced move of the organ for reasons that aren't entirely apparrent, Jimmy and Choirboy were left playing at an awkward angle and out of view. C'est la vie. Muscially we manged a joyful Mass despite Choirboy singing the chorus to our Communion hymn at the wrong time and leading everyone astray. However, we survived and I am not sure many people saw the join.
Happy Mother's Day !

Transfiguration
Today we welcomed back Father Mark after his sojourn in New Zealand. We were minus Jimmy who is sunning himself somewhere hot but we did have a chance to have a muscial first at Holy Trinity. Paul has a new mandolin which was used to great effect in our Crede. It adds another dimension to our music liturgy so with a bit of imagination we can find some other opportunities to utilise this new resource. Next week will be different, Choirboy is away, as are Mary and Kath so tomorrow we will construct an all guitar liturgy led by Jimmy and Paul !

Anybody there ?
Lent is approaching and today Bishop Christopher reminded us of the three pillars of Lent; fasting, prayer and almsgiving. Bishop Christopher wasn't actually at Holy Trinity but we were treated to a pastoral letter read by Father Brian. You can find the full transcript via the following link: - http://www.plymouth-diocese.org.uk/
Writing this blog is a bit like writing a diary, except that generally we want our diaries to be private - hence the title. The blog is getting very few hits (most of them probably accidental) but I will plough on as, like a diary, it is occasionally useful to reflect on what we have done. Musically today we were short of numbers but it was great to see Derek back.
