A couple of silly mistakes.....

..... in the Dates List I recently published and gave out. Nothing that warrants a re-issue, but the corrected version is available on our Web site HERE should you wish to print out the revised version.

Parables Concert 2015

After struggling to find additional music for our concert I have realised that Bach's Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Wake, O wake and sleep no longer) Cantata No. 140 nicely references the parable of the foolish virgins! There's a suitable arrangement in one of the Willcocks carol books, usefully, but I might need to find the appropriate English words from the appropriate movement in the Cantata from elsewhere. Together with The Good Samaritan and The Pharisee and The Publican, three hymns and three reading, we should have a worthy concert on our hands.

Sorry.....

..... UPDATE is a bit flung together this month. The older you get the more time flies... as many of you already know!

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Talk

An early diary date. at 7.30pm on Thursday 22nd October 2015, the well-know Norbury historian Sean Creighton will be giving a talk at Honeywood Museum about local composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Sean will have a number of his professionally produced booklets (he has his own publishing company) available for sale at the event, £4-£5 each. Honeywood is a five minute walk from Carshalton Station. Once tickets go on sale (only around 40 will be available) I'll let you all have more details.

October is Black History month, and Honeywood is aiming to have an exhibition in place related to Sutton's early black community during the same month.

Prayers, please.....

George Norton, Anne Mitra, Mary & Frank Elliott, Maria Leszczynska & Family. I continue to ask ask you also for prayers, please, for a Choir member's Private Intention.

Parish Newsletter

Until the Parish gets its long-planned new Web site up and running, the weekly Newsletters will be available on-line HERE.

October's Quiz Question

The priest wears a chasuble at Mass. What similar vestment does a deacon wear?

The answer to September's question was 'None of them are Liturgically required'. Most of the answers I received suggested the Confiteor, but there are a number of permitted forms of the Penitential Rite that may be selected from the Missal by the Celebrant, and only one of them contains the Confiteor.

Offered Free - Set of Car Mats

I have an unused (and unopened!) set of floor mats for a Volkswagen Passat saloon - should suit cars with a 55 plate or newer. Wife keen to see the box removed from garage! Let me know on Tuesday 30th ...........

For your coffee breaks

Well, I've finally found another recording from The Daughter of Jairus beyond our own... only Love Divine all Loves Excelling though, and from an old 78rpm gramophone record!! HERE.

The Three Tenors sing Frank Sinatra to Frank Sinatra HERE:

A big smile raised by the great Father Hunwicke's short and wry observations on Conjugal dissentions, HERE!

Did you know we have a potted history of the parish on our Web site HERE?

And finally, Eric Johansson, an absolute master of stunning photographic and various other illusions are well worth a look HERE. A number of them owe something to the well-known drawings of impossible constructions by Maurits Escher
