NEWS & VIEWS

LAST WEEK Thank you to all those who gave food or money, and those who helped practically on the day, to make our buffet last Sunday such a success. Thank you also to all who came and joined in thanksgiving for the life and reign of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth and to pray for her and the reign of our new King.

NATIONAL ONE MINUTE SILENCE This evening as part of our mourning on the eve of Her Late Majesty’s funeral, the nation has been called to one minute’s silence at 8pm. The church will be open from 7.30pm for those who would like to come and hold that silence together in sacred space, and it will be followed by a (15 minute) service of Compline. All are welcome.

BOOK OF CONDOLENCE Tuesday between 9.30am and 10.45am is the last opportunity to sign our Book of Condolence, which is on the St Anne altar.  The book will be retained in our archives. You may also like to sign the Book of Condolence opened online by the Palace at royal.uk/send-message-condolence. Fr Gareth will send a letter of condolence from the ecclesiastical parish and a facsimile copy of the book to His Majesty The King on Wednesday.

FINANCIAL GIVING The Parish Giving Scheme is our new online and phone-based system for financial giving to the church. If you use it, it will save us hours of work (for example, by automatically handling donations and Gift Aid) - a really big help to us. You will have full control of your giving - and there’s no need to deal with your bank. There are flyers at the back of church giving simple instructions - or go online to tinyurl.com/parish-giving for further information. Please do consider seriously helping your church in this way.

EDWARD ARTHUR FELLOWES PRYNNE on Saturday 1 October in St Peter’s Church Ealing, an art expert (and Director of the DeMorgan Foundation) is to give a talk on this late-Pre-Raphaelite artist. Commissioned in 1916 by his brother-in-law the Revd Hubert Valentine Eardley-Wilmot, then our Vicar, he painted our beautiful Stations of the Cross, and St Peter’s has a similar painting - Christ Before Pilate.
