Commission a hymn We have now launched Phase2 of our fund-raising campaign for a
piano. We are offering you the opportunity to commission a new hymn – perhaps to mark a
family occasion, as a gift for a friend or maybe in memory of a loved one? For just £50 a
time, Paul Sheppy has very kindly offered to write ten new hymns and all proceeds will go to
the piano fund. You choose the occasion, theme and tune and Paul will do the rest.

Collect
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not
up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered
not into glory before he was crucified; mercifully
grant that we, walking in the way of the cross,
may find it none other than the way of life and
peace; through Jesus Christ, your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen

The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the
heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure
and gives light to the eyes. Response
The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for
ever; the judgements of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether. Response
More to be desired are they than gold, more
than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey,
dripping from the honeycombe. Response
Please pray:
