Morning Prayer with hymns and address
Join us for our monthly Parish Communion Service
Our services in our churches continue as normal, however, we recognise that through ill health, frailty, or infirmity, not everyone is able to join us every week. Therefore, if you are unable to attend in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, as he celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.
This week we continue our journey through the season of "Ordinary Time", but there is nothing ordinary about this period of the Churches year. It is called this simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word 'ordinalis', refers to numbers in series, from which we get the English word 'order'.
The numbered weeks represent the ordered life of the Church - a period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons), nor in reflection or penance (as in the seasons of Advent and Lent), instead the Church focuses on growth and renewal, and looks forward in expectation of of the second coming of Christ.
The readings for today are Exodus 32:7-14, 1 Timothy 1:12-17, and Luke 15:1-10.
The hymns for today are, "Brother, Sister, let me serve you", and, "O Jesus, I have promised".

It’s not easy to think about your own funeral. Talking about death, dying and funerals raises big questions that we need to face at some point, but it’s hard to talk to family and friends.
The Church of England has been helping people think about these questions for centuries.
GraveTalk is a café space, organised by your Parish church, where people can talk about these big questions. The conversation is helped along by GraveTalk conversation cards – 52 questions covering five key areas.
Join us as we gather to talk and share their thoughts about death, dying and funerals.
What happens at a GraveTalk event?
We meet in Clare Parish Church, where everyone will be welcomed by Revd Mark and then invited to sit at tables with three or four others.
The GraveTalk cards will be on the tables, and each group picks a question and uses it to start a conversation. It doesn’t matter if you only use one question, or work through all of them! The purpose is to talk and listen.
Light refreshments are offered throughout the event, which lasts about an hour, or longer if needed.
We will also be joined by representatives for local funeral directors who will be available to answer any questions about the practical aspects around what happens when someone dies.
The event is FREE and open to all.
Join us for a Summer Series of Coffee Concerts in Clare Parish Church, performed by talented musicians, and featuring the recently restored Schiedemayer Grand Piano.
Refreshments served from 11am.
