These are the letters to the church magazine for September 2016. Presumably as it is still only Sept. 1st, there are still many more to be written. I wonder what they might say....

Gosh, these are great. I am sending the link to my b-i-l the Lutheran pastor.

In the "Forthcoming Events" column:

CHURCH FETE

SATURDAY 24TH JUNE

We are delighted to announce that this year's special event will be a display by the Red Arrows.

If wet, in vicarage.

I would like to see a letter complaining that 'Shine Jesus Shine' has not been sung once during the last month.

Given that we will be singing 3 Rutter Anthems in the next 4 weeks, I fear that he is staging a takeover bid. Kendrick just can't cut it anymore.

Could he ever?

Mind you, nor could Rutter in some circles. Horses for courses

Does the Great Gidding CofE demographic like 'Shine Jesus Shine'?

I suppose if theirs is a traditional church it might be one of the most modern worship songs they know. Singing it might make them feel less like fuddy-duddies, the joke being that it is, of course, pretty ancient by worship song standards.

I suspect the letter would be the same format regardless of content - it would read somewhat like this:

Vicar,
I must express my shock and disgust that we were made to sing Kum Ba Ya / Shine Jesus Shine / In Christ Alone / Amazing Grace / Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord AGAIN this Sunday. If it happens again, I will leave! And take all my friends with me!! And you shall not have a penny from me for the roof repair fund EVER AGAIN!!!
Yours, not.
G.G. Gruntley, Esq.
