Music: Chichester Voices will be performing a concert on Thursday 8th October. Music to include a new Requiem composed by Michael Walsh; this work received its premier performance in the Bournemouth Music Festival in May and was received with great acclaim. Indeed two cathedral organists present were anxious to get their hands on a score there and then. Other works in the concert will include well know music – something for everyone!

 

Saturday 17th October – it has been a dream of mine to try to establish an annual Pagham Concert Series, featuring high quality performers playing a variety of instruments. The first of these will feature the highly talented organist, Mark Wardell. Since leaving his post as Assistant Organist of Chichester Cathedral, Mark has concentrated more on his solo career. Not only is he a wonderful player, but he engages his audiences with a witty commentary of his programme. He will be playing the big 4 manual Wyvern. Simply watching him playing is a fascinating experience in itself.  Tickets for both these events will be available from Andrew Naylor.

Date: 16th August 2015

 

Eleventh Sunday after Trinity

 

Collect for the day:

O God, you declare your mighty power most chiefly in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace, that we, running the way of your commandants, may receive your gracious promises, and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ your son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

 

Amen.

 

Response to Psalm: The Lord is near to the broken-hearted.
