A gentle, straight-by-the-book choral Eucharist today, taken by one of our retired priests. A slight panic when I couldn't find my service leaflet, but then realised I was sitting on it! Is this how the slow decline begins, I wonder? We sounded confident and well-balanced singing 'Here, O my Lord' (Whitlock) and then enjoyed looking at the Vestry Group's hand-made Lenten Wreaths (made of wood, to form a cross, ivy, nails and purple candles, one of which will be lit each week throughout the season of Lent). The priest declared that what the children had made looked far more fun than what he had been doing and wished he had spent the morning with them instead! I think he was only half-joking.
