PAGE 2 FROM THE RECTOR Our Church calendar, in terms of Sundays, is seemingly trying to ease us out of Eastertide and return us to Ordinary Time by way of today’s celebration of the Trinity. The season of Easter of course ended on Pentecost, with Ordinary Time beginning the following day. However, since Trinity falls just after Eastertide, it may be tempting to postpone making the obvious external signs of transition as we might do between other liturgical seasons. I still have, for example, a poinsetta in the Rectory, but surely we take down any Christmas trees and place the nativity scene back into storage at the appropriate time… Having clear signs of the passing of liturgical time helps us come to a fuller understanding of that cycle of seasons and how the various facets of our faith they they reveal intersect with and relate to one another. Even though I will wear a white chasuble today, and even though there is an obvious connection between the celebrations of Pentecost and the Holy Trinity, it is no longer Eastertide, so the white chasuble is not the white chasuble of the season of Easter, to make clear that a liturgical transition is happening. So, in addition to removing the gold communion vessels and drapery, and all the bountiful red of Pentecost, as we make the transition to Ordinary Time, there will be further liturgical changes. We will return to using the green prayer books and the red hymn books. The sung elements of the Mass Setting will change. The flower arrangements will not adhere to the strict liturgical colours of gold, white, or red. Just as we begin and end prayers by making the sign of the cross, so too will our very lives begin and end with that same sign of the cross. It shows to whom we belong: we trace on our bodies and bear in our souls the marks of his same cross. As we speak the names of the persons of the Trinity, we recall that it is not just our prayer, but all that we do and all that we are that is dedicated to them: “In the name of…” There is a long and varied history of the sign of the cross; suffice it to say that it is both an ancient gesture and one imbued with significance for all Christians across time and space. St Athanasius (296-373 CE) said, “By the signing of the holy and life-giving cross, devils and various scourges are driven away. For it is without price and without cost and praises him who can say it.” You might like to read more about the sign of the cross on the green coloured brochure available in the Narthex. As we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, we celebrate the persons, three-in-one, coequal and eternal. The persons of the Trinity are defined not by what they do, but by who they are: each God, related to but not the other two persons. Thus, the nominations ‘Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier’ describes each person and not any one person in particular; all three create, all three redeem, all three sanctify. We rather use ‘Father, Son and Holy Spirit’ to avoid this confusion and to be theologically precise. PAGE 3 OUR SERVICE TODAY Our service is contained in the separate service booklet. Opening Hymn I bind unto myself today First Reading Isaiah 6:1-8 Psalm 29 Second Reading Romans 8:12-17 Gospel John 3:1-17 Offertory Hymn Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty Closing Hymn Shout for joy! The Lord has let us feast Recessional Chorale Prelude on “St Anne,” Ernest Dicks (1865–1948) For Your Contemplation ✜ The prophet Isaiah has a vision of the Lord. What is your vision of God? What do you see? ✜ The psalmist tells much of “the voice of the Lord.” What do you hear the voice of the Lord saying to you? ✜ St Paul writes to the Romans, “[Y]ou did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption.” How has fear impacted your spiritual life? ✜ Jesus answers Nicodemus by saying, “[N]o one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” What does being “born from above” mean for you? Holy God, faithful and unchanging: enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth, and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love, that we may truly worship you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

  • Archbishop of Perth Installation MEDIA RELEASE
    MEDIA RELEASE 10 February 2018 ANGLICANS WELCOME NEW ARCHBISHOP KAY GOLDSWORTHY AO The Right Reverend Goldsworthy AO, is today (Saturday 10 February) being installed as the eighth Archbishop of Perth, and Metropolitan of the Province of Western Australia, signaling a historic moment for the Anglican Church as the first woman in Australia and the worldwide Anglican Communion, elected to the role. Archbishop Goldsworthy’s installation service at St George’s Cathedral followed an extensive eight- month selection process that was announced in August last year. Anglican Primate, Archbishop Philip Freier has warmly welcomed the new Archbishop to the role. “Bishop Kay Goldsworthy continues her pioneering series of appointments as the first woman to be appointed an Archbishop in the Anglican Communion,” Archbishop Freier said. “She will bring her distinct gifts to bear upon this important role and goes to it with my support and encouragement.” The Right Reverend Kate Wilmot, from the Anglican Diocese of Perth, said the installation is an exciting moment for the church. “The installation of a new Archbishop is always a memorable and historic occasion, but we are also conscious that this is the first time an Australian Archbishop has been a woman. “Bishop Kay Goldsworthy knows Perth well but has also had experience in other Australian dioceses, has ministered for more than three decades in three dioceses and brings wisdom and an ability to communicate and collaborate with diverse members of the church community. “Bishop Kay has a long history of service to this diocese, and is an experienced church leader, having spent a decade in episcopal ministry.
