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 our Curate\, The Revd Dr Karen Smith\, as he 
 celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage. \n\nThis week we continue our
  journey through the season of "Ordinary Time"\, but there is nothing ordi
 nary about this period of the Churches year.  It is called this simply bec
 ause the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered.  The Latin word 'ordinalis'\
 , refers to numbers in series\, from which we get the English word 'order'
 .\n\nThe numbered weeks represent the ordered life of the Church - a perio
 d 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 Adven
 t and Lent)\, instead the Church focuses on growth and renewal\, and looks
  forward in expectation of of the second coming of Christ.\n\nThe readings
  for today are Isaiah 5:1-7\, Philippians 3:4b-14\, and Matthew 21:33-46.\
 n\nThe hymns for today are\, "Like a mighty river flowing"\, and\, "Eterna
 l Father\, strong to save".\n\nA service booklet to accompany this service
  is also available to download below\, or please email rector@stourvalley.
