This weekend the Bournemouth Ordinariate Mission once again celebrated Evensong and Benediction. On previous occasions we have had maybe forty of us in church; this time we were more than double that number, thanks to a good deal of local publicity in both Catholic and Anglican churches. It was especially good to have the Priest in Charge of Holy Trinity Winchester with us - he robed, and read a lesson. Peter Cook, our Organist, had rounded up a number of volunteers to augment our choir, and the music was exceptionally good.
The weather stayed dry, so we were able to process outside church, with the Image of Our Lady of Walsingham on a newly-constructed bier beautifully decorated with flowers.
Then, a final piece of the Patrimony, we enjoyed a very good tea together - with a cake decorated with the arms of the Ordinariate. Now we are planning a spectacular for Advent.
