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 Andrew Naylor 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.

Collect for the day:
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and to give more than either we desire or deserve: pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Response to Psalm: I sought the Lord, and he answered me.
