What is on at St Edward's

---

Sunday at Eleven Starting in June, we will have a new pattern of 11.00 am services in which will aim to bring into every 11.00 am service the vitality, open-minded enquiry and spiritual depth of Odyssey, but combining that with some of the treasures of the Book of Common Prayer. June 1st Odyssey: A Simple Rule for Living This will be our once-a-month Odyssey. The preacher will be Canon Alan Hargarve of Ely Cathedral who will explore how the rule of St Benedict can be adapted to provide a framework for living and spiritual discipline in modern secular life. June 8th Eucharist – Julian of Norwich The focus of the 11.00 am Eucharist in June will be Julian of Norwich, a local East Anglian saint and mystic. The preacher will be Malcolm Guite. The Eucharist will be similar to the Easter one, drawing on the Book of Common Prayer, but using other elements. June 15th A Service of Readings and Music There will be a special choir for this service, directed by Oliver Lomberg, Senior Organ Scholar at Peterhouse. The service will be similar to the Palm Sunday service, with the choir of Queens’ College. The theme will be a reflection on Christian life and discipleship, and the preacher will be Fraser Watts. June 22nd Family Service – Noah’s Ark On this Midsummer Sunday, as last year, we will have a special Eucharist at 5.00 pm followed by a social occasion at Queens’ College, and we encourage the 11.00 am congregation to join the evening congregation for this. At 11.00 am we well have a special service for young families, based on Noah’s Ark. Anyone will be very welcome. The preacher will be Malcolm Guite. June 29th Vocations Service This is St Peter’s Day, and the season at which many new priests and deacons will be ordained. The theme of the service will be Christian vocation, lay and ordained. The three members of our congregation who are offering themselves for ordained ministry will take part. The preacher will be Malcolm Guite

.

Meditative Eucharist - Sundays at 5.00 pm June 1st The theme will be the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ, i.e.the Sacred Heart; the praecher will be Charlie Moloney, our Ridley Hall ordidand. June 8th The theme will be the apparantly paradoxical, but instructive, idea that we should ‘love God’s law’; the preacher will be Fraser Watts. June 15th The theme will be what Western Christians can learn from the Eastern Church; the preacher will be Malcolm Guite. June 22nd This will be a special Midsummer Eucharist which we hope, as last year, will be attended by both morning and evening congregations. Malcolm will preside and Fraser will preach. It will be followed by refreshments and entertainment in Queens’ College. June 29th. The theme will be St Peter, whose day it is, and the preacher will be Steve Mastin.
