The Organ Voluntary following our service today will be:
Cuarto Tiento de Cuarto Tono (no. XVIII Facultad Orgánica 1626)
by Francisco Correa de Arauxo ca. 1584-1654 Seville.
This was the only book of keyboard music printed in Spain between
1578 and 1773.
The composer was an extremely accomplished musician but a
mercurial and difficult character, who once stopped playing halfway
through a service because he hadn't received his salary increase!

Opening Hymn [619]
When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries: may Jesus Christ be praised! alike at work and prayer to Jesus I repair: may Jesus Christ be praised! Whene’er the sweet church bell peals over hill and dell, may Jesus Christ be praised: O hark to what it sings, as joyously it rings, may Jesus Christ be praised! My tongue shall never tire Of chanting with the choir, may Jesus Christ be praised! this song of sacred joy, it never seems to cloy, may Jesus Christ be praised! Does sadness fill my mind? a solace here I find: may Jesus Christ be praised! or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this: may Jesus Christ be praised! The night becomes as day, when from the heart we say, may Jesus Christ be praised: the powers of darkness fear, when this sweet chant they hear, may Jesus Christ be praised.
Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine: may Jesus Christ be praised! be this the eternal song through ages all along: may Jesus Christ be praised.

Worship Songs
A new commandment I give unto you: that you love one another as I have loved you, that you love one another as I have loved you. By this shall all know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another. By this shall all know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.

Song 2
Make me a channel of your peace where there is hatred let me bring your love where there is injury, your pardon Lord and where there's doubt, true faith in you. O Master grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace Where there's despair in life let me bring hope; where there is darkness, only light and where there's sadness ever joy. O Master grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand to be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned in giving to all men that we receive and in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Offertory Hymn [324]
Sweet Sacrament divine, hid in thine earthly home, lo, round thy lowly shrine, with suppliant hearts we come; Jesus, to thee our voice we raise in songs of love and heartfelt praise: sweet Sacrament divine. Sweet Sacrament of peace, dear home for every heart, where restless yearnings cease and sorrows all depart; there in thine ear all trustfully we tell our tale of misery: sweet Sacrament of peace.
Sweet Sacrament of rest, ark from the ocean’s roar, within thy shelter blest soon may we reach the shore; save us, for still the tempest raves, save, lest we sink beneath the waves: sweet Sacrament of rest. Sweet Sacrament divine, earth’s light and jubilee, in thy far depths doth shine thy Godhead’s majesty; sweet light, so shine on us, we pray, that earthly joys may fade away: sweet Sacrament divine.

Final Hymn [582]
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said, if thou wouldst my disciple be; deny thyself, the world forsake, and humbly follow after me. Take up thy cross, let not its weight fill thy weak spirit with alarm; his strength shall bear thy spirit up, and brace thy heart and nerve thine arm. Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, nor let thy foolish pride rebel; thy Lord for thee the cross endured, to save thy soul from death and hell. Take up thy cross then in his strength, and calmly every danger brave, 'twill guide thee to a better home, and lead to victory o'er the grave.
Take up thy cross and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down; for only they who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown. To thee, great Lord, the One in Three, all praise for evermore ascend: O grant us in our home to see the heavenly life that knows no end.

Keeping in touch!
Christ Church operates a taxi service for those who find it difficult to
get to church on a Sunday, or through the week. If you would like to
use the service, please talk with Joan, Sylvia or Lorraine. You do
not then have to pay the driver. This is not dependent in any
way on ability to pay, this is to help people get to church, without
worrying. If people feel they would like to contribute towards the
cost of the fares, they merely place their donation in a Gift Aid
envelope, marked ‘Taxi’.
Parish Magazine
Please continue to send us items to include – these can be recipes [family recipes, not those taken directly from any published book], clean, funny jokes, items of interest about people or places and poetry, or indeed, anything you think people will enjoy reading.
Many thanks! Janine and Ann P
LENT COURSE
This year’s Lent course entitled
‘Encountered – Meeting God in
ordinary places’ explores the
ordinary places of the Easter story in
which the extraordinary events of
Jesus’s life, death and resurrection occurred. The five sessions
examine the reality of these places which Jesus knew so well. You
will be encouraged to look at the ordinary places in your own life,
and rediscover them as places in which you may meet the living
God.
Each week we will look at a different place and so if you can’t make
it along each week you will still be able to slot into each one and
make it part of your Lenten pilgrimage.
The lent course will continue on Tuesdays at 11am to 12 noon on
19th and 26th March, 2nd and 9th April, led by our Vicar, David.
Everyone is welcome
LENT LUNCH
Saturday, 13th April 2019 from 12 noon to 1.30pm, serving homemade soup, filled roll and butter, fruit,
followed by tea or coffee
Suggested donation of £5 for Christian Aid We look forward to your support!
LENT BOXES
This year, during Lent, we will be asking members of the church family to collect their spare change and donations in a Lent Box on behalf of Christian Aid. The boxes, to be given out next Sunday, are somewhat larger than we have been given in previous years for the various charities we support, however, you can empty them to hand to the treasurer at any time; and we hope that you will wish to Gift Aid your donations if you are a UK tax payer. To do this, please just include with your gift, a gift aid envelope, to be found in any of the pews. The boxes can be kept, and if you feel you would like to continue using them after Lent to put spare change in to go to Christian Aid throughout the year, the treasurer will be happy to accept your gift at any time. Just mark the envelope you place your gift in ‘for Christian Aid’, or other mission supported by the church. Thank you!
APCM & ELECTORAL ROLL – IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
This year, before the Annual Parochial Church meeting, to be held on 28th April 2019 following the morning service, we need to renew the Electoral Roll for the parish. If you are on, or wish to be on the new roll, please speak to Ken Hobbs, as everyone that wants to be on the church electoral roll needs to complete a new form. We should display the list for all to see, however, in line with GDPR, we would like to protect your personal details and so please be assured we will not be displaying the list. Please also give some prayerful thought as to what role you might like to be nominated for, or who you would like to nominate. This might be Churchwarden or PCC member. In this parish we elect members annually so the relevant forms will soon be available and must be completed by the APCM.
From your Parish Treasurer:
You will have been issued with the Parish Annual Report
and Accounts along with the 2018 Minutes of the Annual
Parish Church Meeting [APCM]. Could I ask if you have any
queries relating to the Financial Report, please seek me out
during this time before our APCM and I will endeavour to
answer your query. Thank you. Ken
