PLEASE NOTE THIS SUNDAY 17^th MARCH, THERE WILL NOT BE AN 8AM SERVICE.  PLEASE JOIN US AT 10AM FOR OUR SUNG EUCHARIST FOLLOWED BY MORNING TEA,

 

Dear friends,

Let me introduce you to the Reverend George Harvest, Rector of Thomas Dutton known as the ‘most forgetful man in England’. Apparently George was so forgetful that the day of his wedding to the Bishop’s daughter he instead of preparing for the wedding was struck with a desire to catch gudgeons so packed up his rods and reels and set off as the Bishop and bridal party attended the church. The Bishop was furious and the weeping bride ensured that preferment in the church was cancelled.

So vague was this man that parishioners regularly interspersed the notes of his sermons with extraneous pages which the hapless George just blithely read out much to the offence of some of the more sensitive ladies of the parish. One day whilst hearing a great noise in the church whilst he was lumbering around the church yard he raced home to get his shot gun. The parishioners were most surprised to be confronted by their armed Vicar when he should have been there conducting Holy service.

So, this is very encouraging to all other clergy for when we forget the odd name or part of the service we can look to George whose eccentricity took things to another level altogether.

Grant. 

Readings Lent 2: Genesis 15.1-12,17-18, Ps 27; Philippians 3.17-4.1; Luke 9.1-9
