Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your
heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world.
Shepherd-King o’er mountain steep, homeward guide thy wand’ring sheep. This hymn captures the readings perfectly: our King is not a cruel tyrant or despot, but a shepherd who loves his flock, who would (and did) give his life for them. Love for the flock means that he will have to judge them, separating the sheep from those who do not belong to him. Coming to the end of the Church’s year leads us to look to our final ending, the homecoming the hymn speaks of. The judgement of the end of time we do not view as a trial or a terror, but as a coming home: look back to the Isaiah reading on the 28th Sunday to see what a homecoming party is offered. All we do is put our lives in order, living just and holy lives, longing for the day of the lord to come.

The SVP will be happy to provide lifts for those who require transport. Booking forms are available at the back of the church. Martyrs' Memorial You will know that our 3 Warwick martyrs (William Freeman, John Sugar and Robert Grissold) were put to death on Gallows Hill on the outskirts of Warwick. The land involved is now about to have houses built on it, and we are hoping a memorial to the martyrs can be incorporated into the design. Please would you help our campaign by supporting Philip Batt's comments on the planning application. You will need to search for 'Warwick District Council planning', select 'planning applications', 'search/comment on applications' and enter the keyword 'W/17/1988'. There is no need for a long article (unless you want), just a sentence to say you would like to see the memorial.
