The vicar preached on 'Money' today - always a tricky subject. But I wonder how many of the congregation noticed that, immediately afterwards, the intercessions were read by a young man by the name of 'Rich'?
The morning anthem was the chorale, 'Lord I trust thee' by Handel, but sounding more like Bach. However, we got to have a go at some Bach in the evening service instead - 'King of Glory, King of Peace'. The service ended with some more Bach - an organ prelude and fugue (E minor). Our organist must have used his usual subtle touch of humour when deciding what to play after the Eucharist - given the morning's sermon theme, I imagined the 'Queen of Sheba' (courtesy of Handel) arriving at church with her gifts of spices, jewels, carvings and - apparently - 4.5 tons of gold. That would be more than enough to repair the church roof for the next few years, at least.
