Pied Beauty

Glory be to God for dappled things -
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh- firecoal chestnut falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pierced- fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, frckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He father-forth whose beauty is past change :
Praise him

The Parish Prayer

​Father,
Pour out your Spirit
​upon the people of this parish, 
and grant us
a new vision of your glory,
a new experience of your power,
a new faithfulness to your word and
a new consecration to your service,
that your love may grow among us
and your kingdom come.
Through Christ our Lord Amen.

St. Edward the Confessor Pray for us.
