Two celebratory services taken by Rev Farai Mapamula and Rev Karen Webber. The church was beautiful as ever showing off the local produce and flowers as well as some tapestry pictures. The dahlias were given by Arthur and the tapestry work was completed by the family of our church auditor Gill Mayberry. Gladys Morris was Gills Mother and her amazing talent for crochet, knitting and tapestry continued to be worked well into her 90's when failing eyesight sadly forced her to stop. However she did live to receive her 100th birthday telegram and her skills continue in the family with her Grandaughter Amy completing the balloon and boat tapestry which was also on display. The evening service also featured a composition by Rutter beautifully performed by the choir. The traditional coal, water and harvest loaf did make an appearance at the evening service to complete the celebrations. The loaf has now gone to Small Heath to be used at their Harvest service next weekend.
A total of £!42 was raised over the festivities. The tinned and dried foods collected at both services are to be donated to Tamworth food bank.
