Worship continues at St Martins at 9.30am. Short services are held, 25mins – 30mins. Masks are worn. Piano and organ accompany the hymns. We are blessed with our organists. You are welcome to join us. Trace and Protect and Safety Measures we operate. We are also attempting to cater for the hymns you all like. Some of our older members like traditional hymns and some “modern” which means found in CH4 or among World Church Hymns, whereas some of our younger members are requesting hymns from their Sunday school years. It’s giving me much fun!
Are you aware that the “New Hymn Book” was published in 2005? In a year or two it will be celebrating its 20th birthday. Many of the “newer” hymns we sing regularly, in addition to some psalms and older hymns. We also sing world church hymns. This week we unusually only have 2 of the newer hymns, easy and catchy.
I’m glad you have liked the sketches. One of these Sundays we will have an Ask the Panel. The Questions will not be about who painted the fences or cut the trees but they will be questions about the Bible, the Christian Life and Faith. In fairness to the Panel, the questions will be given them in advance!
