Tomorrow is the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below. We’re continuing to use the setting by John Merbecke this weekend, the music for which is in the printed Mass booklets.
The master answered the servant who had returned the single talent, “You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
As we remember the fallen, those we have loved and lost, and all whose lives have been touched by war, perhaps we might carry three simple thoughts with us: Remember with gratitude. Grieve with love. Pray with hope.
And as we entrust them all to the loving mercy of God, we make our own the familiar prayer: “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.”

Tomorrow is the Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity, Remembrance Sunday, and the permitted Requiem Mass for the faithful fallen in conflict will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below.
There are lots of ways of praying for those whom we have loved and see no longer, during this time of remembrance, including having candles lit in church. Details are in the notices.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by the word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
