Parish News for 26th Week in Ordinary Time

September 26, 2024 by Churchwardens in Weekly News

This Sunday Fr. David will be with us to celebrate the Feast of S Michael and all the Angels. In John’s gospel, Nathanael recognises Jesus as the Son of God and Jesus tells Nathanael, “I tell you most solemnly, you will see heaven laid open and, above the Son of Man, the angels of God ascending and descending.”

Choral Evensong at All Hallows
This Sunday 29th September at 3.30pm, Choral Evensong for Michaelmas will be held at All Hallows Gospel Oak. The choir will sing the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in G minor by Henry Purcell, Preces and Responses by Thomas Tomkins, and Factum est silentium by Richard Dering. Afterwards, tea, cake and wine will be provided. All Hallows Gospel Oak is in Savernake Road a short walk from Gospel Oak Overground station, and near the C11 and 46 bus routes on Mansfield Road. All welcome.
