16th Sunday after Trinity Morning Worship

<p>Today is Karen Spray's final service as Vicar of the United Parishes and while the readings speak of departures it is also a celebration of her time with us. &nbsp;We wish her and Tim a happy and blessed retirement. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Epistle is read by Brian de Looze, the Gospel by Caroline Elliott and the Rev'd Trevor Stubbs leads our intercessions. &nbsp;The opening organ voluntary is the Andante Tranquillo from Organ Sonata no 3 in A major played on the Fr Willis organ at St Michael &amp; All Angels, Croydon by Nicholas Tall, our former Director of Music. &nbsp;Tricia Rees-Jones, the present Director of Music provides the post-sermon anthem and hymns and produced the service. &nbsp;Julian McNamara, Director of Music of Downside School wrote the final descant, and the closing anthem is performed by members, former members and friends of the Parish Choir; Haec Dies by Samual Webbe was the very first 'remote' anthem recorded by the choir in lockdown.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
