ALL AGE WORSHIP PARISH COMMUNION SERVICE on MOTHERING SUNDAY.

The lessons were excellently read by Emma and Matthew Lawrence.  The children helped to deliver the sermon.  They had given Heather a list of qualities found in their mothers.  Heather presented the sermon as a recipe for a cake with the children telling the congregation the different qualities and bringing to the front props they had made.  Heather tied the qualities of a mother in with qualities of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the qualities of the Mother Church.  While the cake was ‘baking’ the children did a sketch and a rhyme.  At the end a splendid Simnel Cake was produced.  This was generously donated by Ann Adams and afterwards the cake went to the staff and residents at Elm Lodge where Jim and John hold a church service with communion every month.  The children read prayers and after the distribution of communion and Simnel Cake Emma Lawrence played the flute while Heather read a poem.  At the end of the service posies of flowers were given to all the ladies.
