Welcome to our Celebration Today
During the Sung Mass, we will be admitting a number
of our young people to receive Communion and we
welcome their families, friends and supporters who
join us this morning. As usual, the Sunday School
meets in the Ringing Chamber, they gather during the
first hymn. Please ask the Sidespersons for directions.
The Walsingham room is also available as a crèche
room for young people who need a break during the
service. At the end of Mass please stay and join us for
coffee and refreshments. The green books have the
Order of Service in them, while the hymns are found
in the bigger green book. The numbers are as follows:
