A young musician of considerable talent, Jeremy will be playing a variety of pieces. A wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon in July - and donations received contribute to the work of the parish.

On Saturday evening one of the parish curates was ordained priest in the Parish Church. Bishop Lindsay Urwin, Administrator of the <a href="http://www.walsinghamanglican.org.uk/intro.htm">Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham</a>, preached, ordained and celebrated. Fr Dominic, who was made priest, was supported by the prayers of a full church, the saints and the angels. The Archdeacon of Oxford received Fr Dominic's oaths of allegiance to the Monarch and obedience to the Bishop of Oxford, on his first visit to Wantage in his new role in the diocese. </div>

Children in decidedly high spirits after lunchtime in the heat, but quickly settled into the Collective Worship calm. Our themes: Wisdom, coupled with the poignant sign of the time of year, Moving On. They warmed to the sideways slant on both. Who knows us better than we know ourselves? God! His Wisdom passes understanding. If we forget to tell ourselves how special we are, God knows it best of all, and wants to remind us always. He whispers in the heart....if we're quiet enough to listen.<br />
<br />
Gratuitous post, mostly an excuse to show off the glorious new hanging in the hall, creation of staff and children last term.<br />

<br />
The sunshine filled the church up with smiling faces. <br />

There followed prayerful and uplifting worship. The sermon: God feeds us in this sacrament with his own life, the love that fills heaven itself. The Eucharist is how God nourishes us into being 'who we most need to be': always forgiven, accepted and fulfilled, in readiness for our eternal life. Procession of the Sacrament at the end of Mass, our tiniest members toddling in front to line the way with petals and fragrant leaves. Our preacher's words echoed: We gaze on him who leads us into the heavenly places, his band of pilgrims and beloved friends. Benediction sent us on our way to the carnival. <br />

Bacon rolls and muffins in the sun. Your blogger didn't quite muster the courage for the helter-skelter.

I will be posting news of parish events, reflections and other food for thought here and on the parish twitter account twitter.com/wantageparish.<br />
<br />
Happy Feast! Today is the solemnity of Corpus Christ, the day on which we remember the institution of the Holy Eucharist: where God comes to meet his people in ordinary food, made extraordinary by his power. We too become extraordinary, who eat and drink in remembrance of Christ's death and resurrection. Alleluia! We will be keeping the feast again on Sunday, at our 5pm (Sat) 8, 9.15 and 10.30 Masses. Procession and Benediction at 10.30 Solemn Mass. All welcome; children's church/creche; refreshments after mass.<br />
