gospel to shine throughout the world through the
preaching of your servant Saint Paul: grant that we
who celebrate his wonderful conversion may follow
him in bearing witness to your truth; through Jesus
Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with
you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever Amen
Post Communion Lord God, the source of truth
and love, keep us faithful to the apostles’ teaching and
fellowship, united in prayer and the breaking of bread,
and one in joy and simplicity of heart, in Jesus Christ
our Lord Amen

Birthdays and Celebrations
This Sunday we have the wonderful joy of celebrating
Peggy Cooper’s 100th birthday. Peggy and her family came
to Tring over 60 years ago and have been permanent
fixtures in our church ever since. Those of you with long
memories of Tring will recall Peggy from the Chemist’s
shop. Those of us whose memories of Peggy are more
recent will give a wonderfully cheerful and positive lady.
We are also wondering if Peggy is the oldest active server
in the Church of England. Peggy is very much the person
responsible for setting up the communion service in the
Furlongs each month. We give thanks to God for her 100
years.
Next Sunday marks the end of our Epiphany season and
we will celebrate the Presentation of Christ in the Temple
(Candlemas). For those who love Choral Evensong there
is a special evensong in Tring with a choir organised by
Richard Grylls.
With Candlemas our thoughts turn to Lent. Details of Lent
house groups will be announced soon. Also, each year in
Lent we have been watching a series of films. This year
we are going to need to start a bit early because we have
decided to take the Seven Deadly Sins as a theme. I
suspect Lent is about trying to reject that which is unhelpful
in our lives and lifestyles and is about trying to live better
lives. The early church fathers recognised various
categories of human vices which tempted us to sin. I was
taught to remember them using the mnemonic PALEGAS:
Pride, Anger, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Avarice (or greed), and
Sloth. We will take each one of these themes and explore
them through film. The films will be:
8th February, Envy - Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus
15th February, Gluttony – Micheal Moore’s Supersize me
22nd February, Greed -Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave
1st March, Lust - Steve McQueen’s Shame*
8th March, Pride - Anthony Minghella’s
The Talented Mr Ripley
15th March, Sloth – American Beauty
22nd March, Wrath – Scott Hicks’ Shine
This set of films was put together as a group by Thinking
Faith the online Journal of British Jesuists. We have
detailed notes for each film. To be added to a Lent Film
Mailing List, please contact admin@tringteamparish.org.uk
Each film will be at St John the Baptist, Aldbury at 6.30pm.
There will be a short evening service beforehand at 6pm.
*NB we have yet to watch Shame but there is some
concern in the clergy team that it may not be suitable
for our congregations so we reserve the right to
change this film once we have seen it – there are
plenty of others about lust!
