Sue's last day

Here's a view of the unsung heroes at St Laurence's, preparing one of our now-legendary parish lunches to say goodbye to Sue Charles, who left us this Sunday as she prepares for ordination to the diaconate next week.

And here is Sue ("speech, speech" they cried!) receiving her leaving gifts from the congregation. We'll miss you, Sue!

(Thanks, as usual to our 'roving reporter', John who remembers to bring his camera to these occasions.)

Our new Director of Music



This term we welcome Huw Morgan as Director of Music, having already been organist with us for the past two years. That didn't seem to put him off, so he decided to stay!! Before joining us, Huw was Director of Music at All Saints, Blackheath and at St John the Evangelist, Hyde Park. His recent commission by Southwark Cathedral for a festival anthem was performed last month at the cathedral to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the death of the poet John Gower (read about it in this month's Bridge, folks!).
Choral services resume this Sunday, with mass at 10am and our monthly treat of choral evensong at 6pm.

Meanwhile, Andrew may be up to other things musically, but he is still a member of the congregation here, so thanks for everything, Andrew!
