Sunday Mass at St James'

On Sunday YC & Lois joined Emma Duff for Mass at St James' Church, West Hampstead where Emma is pastoral assistant for the year. One of her duties is to be thurifer at the service - this means leading the processions during the service dispensing liberal quantities of incense. Emma has started a singing group to encourage the parishioners to sing out, and YC and Lois were volunteered to join the group for the day, belting out numbers such as 'All hail the power of Jesu's name' and 'To God be the glory'. The congregation were all very friendly, and the vicar Father Andrew made Emma's day when he commented that she sounded 'more northern' than YC: the cheek of it.
