Members of the Friends of Lancing Chapel came together on Saturday, 30 September for their annual festival. Falling on Michaelmas Day, the festival welcomed in a lovely autumnal afternoon.
Festal Evensong was led by the Chaplain, Fr Justin Pottinger. The choir was on fine form and gave an excellent account of one of the joyful choruses from Haydn’s Creation. The Revd Rupert Toovey, who has recently written about the new Chapel porch in the local press, preached an enlightening sermon about St Michael and later, at the AGM, encouraged the Friends to keep up their important work.
Among the guests were representatives of The National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS), who had arranged last year’s beautiful Flower Festival, and a group of choristers from the North of England. Gratitude for the extraordinary achievements and generosity of the Friends, so many of whom are OLs, was reiterated throughout the afternoon. After a very positive meeting, a splendid tea was served in the Megarry Room, a fitting reward for such dedication.
