they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves
caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.

Schubert’s Deutsche Messe for John Grange
Last year after John Grange passed away we received a very generous donation from his widow
Helga. We thought it fitting to show our appreciation with a mass, John having valued his faith very
much. He was also a member of the Schubert Society and Helga is German. So German church
music seemed most fitting. He was a medical doctor and research professor, so at the end we will
collect for the Friends of St Mary’s Hospital. Do come to remember him before God, celebrate the
service with the music and enjoy refreshments afterwards.
Cake for the Homeless
In May we had another cake sale to raise funds for The Connection at St Martin which resulted in
£160 for the good cause. Thanks to all involved!
Monastery Weekend
A group of ten went to the Benedictine monastery at Turvey
near Bedford. Many had been before and a few experienced
it for the first time. All enjoyed it very much. The time away
from busy London and the friendly welcome by the monks
is always a tonic. We returned refreshed in body and spirit.
Farewell Jakob and Julian
Time flies. Our volunteers will leave at the end of this season, taking lots of experiences and
impressions home. We say thank you for their support with so many activities such as Struwwelpeter,
After School Club, LoCo, Tea Morning and at the General Programme as well as home visits and
helping other charities. We wish them good luck and God’s blessing for the future!
Voices in Harmony
