Lammas Tide Holy Communion

Lammas or ‘Loaf-mass’ (derived from the Anglo-Saxon Hlafmaesse) is an English feast in origin, held on 1st August as a thanksgiving for the firstfruits of the wheat harvest. Traditionally, a newly baked loaf from the wheat harvest was presented before God within the mass of that day. While the ceremony ceased at the Reformation, reference to Lammas Day continued in the Prayer Book calendar, and the practice has been revived in some places in more recent years. The tradition of giving thanks for the firstfruits need not be limited to 1st August, and churches are at liberty to decide when to hold such a celebration.
The Lammas loaf should ideally be baked by members of the congregation, using local produce wherever possible.
Part of the Lammas loaf may be used as the eucharistic bread on this occasion.

Rogation Holy Communion

Rogation Sunday is the day when the Church has traditionally offered prayer for God’s blessings on the fruits of the earth and the labours of those who produce our food. The word “rogation” is from the Latin rogare, “to ask.” Historically, the Rogation Days (the three days before Ascension Day) were a period of fasting and abstinence, beseeching God’s blessing on the crops for a bountiful harvest. In medieval England the Rogation Days were observed with processions that began in the local church and proceeded to outline the boundaries of the parish, pausing occasionally for the recitation of prayers. Priests and cross-bearers led these long walks in the countryside. Accordingly, the English sometimes called the Rogation Days the “Walking Days” from the Old Anglo-Saxon name for the observance, Gang Daegas, meaning approximately “Day of Going About.”

God of our lives,
we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,

and for his devotion to duty.
We entrust him now to your love and mercy,
through our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.

Merciful God, be close to all who mourn,
especially The Queen and all members of the Royal Family.
May they know the hope of your promises
and the comfort of your love,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Palm Sunday 2021

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, during Lent we have been preparing by works of love and self-sacrifice for the celebration of our Lord’s death and resurrection.
Today we come together to begin this solemn celebration
in union with the Church throughout the world.
Christ enters his own city to complete his work
as our Saviour, to suffer, to die, and to rise again.
Let us go with him in faith and love, so that,
united with him in his sufferings, we may share his risen life.

Ash Wednesday

17 February 2021

Since early days Christians have observed with great devotion the time of our Lord’s passion and resurrection. It became the custom of the Church to prepare for this by a season of penitence and fasting.
As a sign of the spirit of penitence with which we shall keep this season of preparation for Easter, we invite you to receive on your head in ash the sign of the cross, the symbol of our salvation.
This year we have sent out packs with both liturgy and small envelopes containing ash made from last years palm cross, for you to mark this important day at home. If you are able, please do join us at our services at 09:00 or 18:00, however, we have also included a card with instructions if you would like to do so on your own.

Clipping the church is an ancient custom that is traditionally held in England on Easter Monday or Shrove Tuesday. The word “clypping” is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and is derived from the word “clyppan”, meaning “embrace” or “clasp”. Clipping the church involves the congregation holding hands in a ring around the church. Once the circle is completed onlookers will often cheer and sometimes hymns are sung. Following the ceremony a sermon is delivered in the church and there are refreshments. Christians adopted this tradition to show their love for their church and the surrounding people.

This year we are having a Zoom Clypping and Pancakes service! Please do join us with pancakes ready and if you can a Lemon (all will be explained on the night)! As we can’t hug the Church this year we have included a Clypping Blessing Card so you can go to your Doorsteps and then come back to the Zoom!
