It was lovely to have Keith and Lyn Scott with us this morning and have Keith preaching. Keith and Lyn are our CMS mission partners based at St John’s Seminary in Kitwe, Northern Zambia. Our harvest lunch last Sunday raised over £700 towards their work there.

Evan, Fergus and Max installed full choristers
Welcome to Evan, Fergus and Max as they were installed full choristers at Evensong this afternoon. The choir sang Stanford in A and I was glad, ( 100 years to the day since the death of its composer, Parry.) we also welcomed 13 new probationers last Friday, with a few more to follow. Thank you to the parents who commit to becoming chorister parents, a role which can be quite demanding!
Next Sunday, the choir sings the Eucharist in St Anne’s Cathedral, while we welcome their choir to sing our Eucharist.
Prayers and best wishes Gerry

‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’ exhibition
Just one of the beautiful tapestries hanging in church as part of an exhibition of creative textile art ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’. The display will be on show from 6th – 14th September in the Church from 9.30am – 4pm (Sunday 2pm – 4pm). The display is on loan from St Colmanell’s Parish in Ahoghill and any donations received will be divided between their church hall fund and the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). Do take the opportunity to visit this lovely exhibition.
New choir term begins
The new choir term started really well with wonderful singing from the trebles and gentlemen, masterfully accompanied by Stephen Hamill. David was delighted to welcome Evan, Fergus, Charlie and Max as cassock boys, and Des Havlin as senior Choral Scholar while he studied at QUB.
Featured is Hector King, one of the four exam candidates who scored really high distinction in his grade 7 ABRSM singing exam last June. The others will feature in future posts.
We look forward to seeing the Chamber Choir next Sunday afternoon for their return.
