Christmas Inspire F1 2019 Christmas 2019 The Civic Church of Ipswich Dear Friends Can you hear the angels sing? Angels singing is a metaphor for the eternal message of Christmas, as the whole of Creation rejoices at what God is doing. This goes beyond the mere elements of the Christmas story, as the angels sing of the eternal purposes of God in Christ Jesus. The angels sing of reconciliation; of peace and good will and good news, which a broken and divided world longs to hear; which divided communities long to hear and which divided families long to hear. And the key question is what really brings this reconciliation? At its deepest level, what the angels are singing about is a transformation in how power is exercised in relationships, including the power of God. Put more simply, this is about mutual humility and listening, for these are fundamental elements in any kind of reconciliation. Christians are familiar with the radical humility of Jesus and the Christmas story is part of that revelation, but we can be less aware of the extent to which Jesus listened to those around him. He attended to people’s deepest concerns and that is why so many flocked to hear him; this is basically what all his healings are about. The Christian vision of God is fundamentally that of a God who listens and responds to his people’s deepest needs. So when we survey the world around us, which seems so full of disunity and mistrust with people struggling to be heard, we need to remember that the way of reconciliation is essentially one of humility and listening, and that in Jesus, God himself shows us the way. We need to remember this when we face the disunities in our lives and communities. However much we may disagree, we still belong together in the Kingdom of God, and we should never lose sight of this. And God’s part in this? The reason the angels sang? The key that frees us to be agents of reconciliation ourselves? Is knowing that the love of God, made known at the birth of Jesus, is for always, and that it is sure and eternal. s As October brought the end of a very successful Summer Recital Series, the church choir’s activities ramped up beginning with it our Harvest Festival celebrations and the Parish Open Day, at which the choristers sang Evensong. Not only have we been buoyed by a hatful of invigorating music, but the librarians also rejoiced greatly, as our new Responses books were printed and put to use. The new booklets (divided by composers A-M and N-Z) collate the dozen or so sets of Preces and Responses the choir uses throughout the year. Interpolated among the responses are the various settings of the Lord’s Prayer and the Venites and Easter Anthems. All in all, far less work for the librarians! The beginning of November brought with it All Saints and All Souls. The choir performed the Faure Requiem at the latter, with excellent solos by Euan Chalmers and Michael Harland. Shortly afterwards the choir sang an arrangement of Elgar’s famous ‘Nimrod’ from his Enigma Variations, on Remembrance Sunday. The arrangement sets the words of the ‘Lux Aeterna’ to Elgar’s music. It is a very difficult piece to bring off, but the choir did so magnificently. After Remembrance, the choir’s attention turns very quickly towards Advent and Christmas. One piece we spent a good deal of time preparing is Britten’s Hymn to St Columba. The dramatic music is both melodically and harmonically chal- lenging, but the choir rose to the challenge and the Choristers certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves. The focus at the end of November was a joint service with St Margaret’s Church, at St Margaret’s, and also the Tower Chamber Choir’s autumn concert which included Bach motets and Schutz’s Musikalische Exequiven. The choir and soloists were excellent, and pleasingly, we were joined by a good audience. Just before Advent Sunday and our Vigil service, the choir performed at the opening of the spectacular 10th Grand Christmas Tree Festival – very much a Christmassy affair, rather than Advent. The church looked magnificent and the choir sang Darke’s 1 In the Bleak Midwinter and Skellern’s So said the angel. Which when you glance at the score seems to have more rests than notes! The Christmas tree festival concluded for the choir with the Christingle Service, which seems to grow year on year! Thank you to everyone who did so much to help support the festival, which in turn supports our musical ambitions at St Mary le Tower. As I write this, the choir are knee-deep in preparations for our performance of Handel’s Messiah and music over the Christmas period. I have just put the finishing touches to next term’s schedule which proves to yet another exciting journey; includ- ing Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, J.S. Bach’s St Matthew Passion, as well as taking part in the Justice Service at the Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds. All the Choristers and Choral Scholars are making great progress, and my sincere thanks goes to William, Katie, Matt and Lis for their help and guidance. Many of the choristers have received RSCM ribbons this term and the probationers will have all received their surplices by Christmas. Next year we have 4 Bishop Chorister Award candidates and 4 Gold Award Candidates. We look forward to welcoming a handful of new choristers next term – and in due course, we look forward to the New Song School in Tower House, where we can fit everyone to rehearse! Many thanks to all those who have helped with the Lunchtime Recitals throughout the year, such as the café staff, moving furniture or front of house. Thank you to everyone who has given generously to the musical projects over the year. In particular we can rejoice that we now have the go-ahead to remove the old Chancel lanterns! Hallelujah! Happy Christmas. Christopher 2 THE CHURCH IN WALES TO CELEBRATE 100 YEARS In 1920, the Church in Wales became an independent part of the Anglican Communion after centuries of being part of the Church of England. The process was known as ‘disestablishment’ as it broke the link between Welsh churches and the state with the historic Welsh Church Act. Events being held to mark the anniversary include celebration services in all six of the Church’s cathedrals on June 7 and a visit by the Archbishop of Canterbury in April. A Centenary Appeal has also been launched which aims to raise £100,000 for two charities over the next five years. The Archbishop of Wales, John Davies, said, “2020 is our centenary as a province of the Anglican Communion. We will be celebrating this landmark birthday throughout the year in churches and communities across Wales, and I invite everyone to join in giving thanks and praise for the fellowship we have shared over the years.” The Provincial Secretary, Simon Lloyd, said, “The Church in Wales is involved in community life in all parts of Wales – in cities, towns, villages and hamlets, in both of our languages, amongst people of all ages. We welcome everyone. The centena- ry is an opportunity to share our story and our life together with our friends, our CONGRATULATIONS TO REVD JEANETTE GOSNEY (St Lawrence Preacher and Associate Priest at SMLT) on the announcement that she is to be the next Archdeacon of Suffolk in succession to Archdeacon Ian (may he rest in peace and rise in glory). Jeanette will be made Archdeacon on Saturday 18th January at 3pm at St Michael’s Framlingham. She has been acting archdeacon while Ian has been ill and was strongly recommended by the appointment panel after a national search. We assure Jeanette of our prayers as she takes up this appointment full-time, and thank her for her ministry at the Tower, particularly during the Vicar’s study leave. 3 Parish Diary (Special Events, see back cover for regular services.)

  • A Benefice Service of Holy Communion for the Feast of St Peter & St Paul
    A Benefice Service of Holy Communion For the Feast of St Peter & St Paul Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday 27th June 2021 Aldeburgh Parish Church President and Preacher: The Ven Jeanette Gosney Archdeacon of Suffolk Welcome Today is a multi-layered celebration. It is Aldeburgh’s Patronal Festival, and our readings speak of Patron Saints Peter and Paul. But it is a much more personal celebration too. Last year The Revd Johanna Mabey reached the end of her time as an Assistant Curate in training. At the same time The Revd James Marston was ordained Priest in our cathedral. In both cases we were not able to celebrate with them because of the Covid 19-related restrictions but today we can. We welcome our Archdeacon, The Ven. Jeanette Gosney, who will license Jo as an Assistant Priest in our benefice as well as presiding and preaching at our Patronal Festival service. And she will be assisted, in the role of Liturgical Deacon, by James. We thank Jo and James for all that they have already done for us and pray for their future ministry among us. We are very lucky to be able to share the ministry of Christ’s church with them. As long as the weather smiles on us please do stay and have some refreshments with us after the service – and hopefully we will be able to raise a glass to Jo, James and all that is to come. ¶ The Gathering In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen.
