SUNDAY AT ST MARY'S 0800 HOLY COMMUNION 0930 SUNG EUCHARIST The Sunday School meets in conjunction with this service. There is coffee in the church hall between the 9.30 and 11 o’clock services on Sunday mornings, to which all are welcome, and especially newcomers and visitors. LATE MORNING SERVICE varies by Sunday in the month The usual pattern is our all-age Praise@11 on the first Sunday at 11am; 11.15am Choral Mattins on the second Sunday; 11am Toddle Up, a short and very informal service for toddlers and their families on the third Sunday; and 11.15am Morning Prayer with Holy Baptism on the fourth Sunday. The pattern changes on special occasions: see the calendar on the back page for details of this month.

It is one of the three great festivals along with Christmas and Easter, in which we recall the coming of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus's disciples after he had ascended to heaven. Moved by the Spirit they resolved to carry on Jesus' work- and we try to do the same two thousand years on. Services are a quiet and contemplative 8am Holy Communion, then a celebratory 9:30am Sung Eucharist with choral music and children's hour. It's followed by refreshments www.handmadepictureframes. jigsy.com in church, and we hope that some will stay after the 9:30, and others will arrive early for Praise@11 to share some fellowship together.

Several pianos will be in church for duets, St Mary’s trios, and more. This is always a popular recital and will start at 7:30pm.

Father, forgive the cold love of the years, As here in the silence we bow. Perish our cowardice, perish our fears! Kindle us, kindle us now. Lord, we accept, we believe, we adore, Less than the least though we be. Fire of love, burn in us, burn evermore, Till we burn out for Thee. O for a passionate passion for souls, O for a pity that yearns, O for a love that loves unto death, O for a fire that burns. O for the pure prayer-power that prevails, That pours itself out for the lost, Victorious prayer in the Conqueror's name The Lord of Pentecost.
