Our busy Easter service was lead by Rev Chris Giles and the church was decorated complete with the annual Easter Lilies - which are in remembrance of those who have passed.

As part of our service today led by Arthur the Open the book team put on their Zacchaeus show for our congregation.  Our own Rev Karen Webber came and led our young people in a Christingle service. The children enjoyed making the orange based Christingles and the carers had tea and coffee! Many thanks to all who helped set up and we wish you a Merry Christmas as it as sung at the close of the service. Nick led our service today and this was his last in the circuit as well as the last with us as pastoral lead. We celebrated his leadership after the service with a bring and share lunch. A book and theatre tokens were presented to him. Today we celebrated a big birthday for Mike. A cake was made, birthday songs were sung several times and the cake enjoyed. Maundy Thursday service was well attended and the Easter morning service was led by Rev Chris Giles. The church looked lovely with the Easter decorations. The service had been written by Christian women of Palestine this year. They urged us to bear with one another in love, something that must be very difficult in their present circumstances. The choir sang and the church had a lovely decoration which reflected this theme. The service was led by Anne and there was tea and coffee afterwards. After the service today we celebrated the birthday of Carol one of our stewards who turns 70 this week. This was done in style with a cake at our post service tea and coffee meeting.  Our service of candlelit carols was led by Rev Nick Jones and supported by the choir who sang a new version of "Little Donkey" for the congregation as their finale. Lessons and carols were sung and we thank all those who read so ably for us. This year we had new LED flicker candles but still maintained tradition with proper burning candles on the side tables. We even had a special playlet where the Angels in Heaven discussed the coming of Jesus and decided to descend and view proceedings. Mince pies and festive treats were washed down with tea and coffee afterwards in the school room. Merry Christmas to you all. |
