THE RECTOR'S RAMBLINGS
The Rector's Ramblings are Kevin's weekly musings on recent global,
parochial and personal events. They may also reflect on some aspect of the scriptures that are pertinent today.
It was a joy to see so many at the Patronal Service in All Saints’ last Sunday. It has become one of the best attended service in our parishes’ calendars with over 120 people in attendance.
I apologise to those who had submitted names which were left out in error. On the day we called out more than 170 names which we had received via phone and email, via Messenger, SMS and WhatsApp, on the sheets we left in church and on numerous notes that were handed to us.
It seems that one sheet went astray. I know this has caused hurt but please be assured that it was accidental. We will endeavour to do better next year.

Last week I announced that next year’s St Brigid’s Day service will be broadcast from St Brigid’s Church on Sunday 31st January.
I have already received a request for an outline of the service (and I haven’t even started thinking about Christmas yet!). There will be no 8.30am service that morning, as the production team will need access to the church from 8.00am. Everyone involved in the service, including readers and choir members, will need to arrive early. I understand that we will go through the service twice: first as a rehearsal to check timings and then live on air at 11.00am. Doors will close at 10.55am. More details to follow.
The annual Service for Christian Unity will be recorded that afternoon, and we are expecting visitors from across the island to join us for this occasion.
We will need plenty of help throughout the day, particularly with setting up the hall, providing refreshments and clearing up afterwards. Hilary Bryan and Ann Rath will be coordinating the hospitality team. If you can lend a hand, whether by providing some practical help on the day (muscle and charm always welcome!) or assisting with food preparation and serving, please contact Andrew in the office, Hilary or Ann. All offers of help will be very much appreciated!

On Sunday 22nd November, Archbishop Michael Jackson will preside at the united service of Holy Communion at 10.30am in St Brigid’s. This is the feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year. Let’s pack the church!
