Sunday

Today we had a long reading about Creation and Fr Jerry preached well on the Gospel which for some reason leaves out the vital section before about serving God or wealth. Last week he gave us a memorable analogy from "Who wants to be a millionaire?" You can choose 50/50, Ask the audience or Phone a friend. How often do we "phone" our Friend Jesus?  We sang Martin How's "Fairest Lord Jesus" and I played Andrew Moore's Prelude on "Bread of heaven" and Andrew Fletcher's Impromptu. I also learnt and played a new piece Tuba tune by Andrew Moore - it has a nice interplay between tuba and trumpet only possible on a 3 manual.  At Evensong played Thiman and Christopher Tambling on Slane and Rosalie Bonighton on St Denio. 3 in congregation. Choral Evensong from Queens Oxford included John Scott anthem, Noble and Francis Jackson sonata finale. Watched pottery and painting challenge.

John Fisher school

To John Fisher school Purley for 3 Explore sessions with year 12 young men who are much more mature and asked some sensible questions once they got over the sex ones. In fact we were able to talk about the sacramental aspect of marriage much more and also our future. We saw Fr Clark as we were leaving. I went to Caterham for a meeting with Jerry at the vicarage which was positive. To Acton. Spent a quiet day with Sean watching Wimbledon. Federer on great form against Cilic. Lousie met us near to East Acton so we got tube to Shepherds Bush and 3 delayed trains to Selhurst. Got to Redlibbets golf club at 7.30. Meopham/Medway Towns joint meeting and an excellent meal and Ubbo and William were good. Home by midnight.
