Fourth Sunday of Lent –
Mothering Sunday
Welcome to the Abbey today as we gather for worship
and fellowship. If you are visiting you are most welcome
and we hope that you enjoy your time with us. If you are
new in the Parish do complete one of the address cards
in the pews. During communion all are welcome to
come forward for bread and wine or a blessing – if for a
blessing simply keep your head bowed. We do hope
you can stay for refreshments in the South Transept
after Parish Eucharist.

will be guided to your group in the Priory Buildings.
 Sunday Tots (0-5) make your way to the Priory Buildings
through the Cloister Porch door during the first hymn.

Bach Lent Series – We continue our Lenten exploration of
the organ music of J S Bach (1685-1750) today with his
monumental Toccata and Fugue in F major, BWV 540. The
Toccata is the grandest of all of his toccatas and features two
extended pedal solos. Bach signs his name in the music a
number of times with the notes B-A-C-H. The Fugue is a double
fugue, with two expositions featuring material that is later
combined together ingeniously. The piece was written in 1713
for the organ of the Augustusburg, Weissenfels, to celebrate its
unusually long keyboard and pedalboard compasses.
daughter be a chorister in the Abbey Choir? If they
enjoy singing they should come and try for themselves
during the afternoon of Sunday 29th March! Contact
Marcus Wibberley (Director of Music) for further details.

the work of the Mothers' Union as we seek to share
your love through the encouragement, strengthening
and support of marriage and family life. Empowered by
your Spirit, may we be united in prayer and worship,
and in love and service reach out as your hands across
the world. In Jesus' name. Amen.
