DESCRIPTION: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 Mar
 k Woodrow\, who is joined by The Revd Dr Karen Smith\, as he celebrates Ho
 ly Communion from the Vicarage. \n\nThis week we continue our journey thro
 ugh the season of "Ordinary Time"\, but there is nothing ordinary about th
 is period of the Churches year.  It is called this simply because the week
 s of Ordinary Time are numbered.  The Latin word 'ordinalis'\, refers to n
 umbers in series\, from which we get the English word 'order'.\n\nThe numb
 ered 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 season
 s)\, 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 e
 xpectation of of the second coming of Christ.\n\nThe readings for today ar
 e Isaiah 56:1\,6-8\, Romans 11:1-2a\, 29-32\, and Matthew 15:10-28.\n\nThe
  hymns for today are\, "At the name of Jesus"\, and\, "I come with joy\, a
  child of God".\n\nA service booklet to accompany this service is availabl
 e to download below\, alternatively please email rector@stourvalley.org.uk
  for a copy.
