The 140th anniversary of St Mary's is behind us. There is supposed to be some sort of outreach fair later in the year, but like all good ideas in the church, it will die a slow death.

The service yesterday saw lots of old Kaori types smiling at each other, some ridiculous hymns and some soppy love songs to Jesus. However, I did love the trumpet recital at the start and the arrangement of the 84th Psalm during communion. I think, given the brief, the parish did a good job. I think the whole thing was a waste of time, but well executed.
