🫤 IT WAS A GLOOMY START 🫤
Bit a of a gloomy weather morning for todays Service of Holy Communion led by Becca . . . but we were met with the happy smiling face of Kathy with hymn books and order of service 🙂
Janice was in bright and early preparing the post service refreshments ☕️🍪
The first of this mornings readings was read by choir member Jo and the second by congregation member Hayley.
John led us in our prayers.
Thank you to this mornings bell ringers - always a joy for the whole town to hear on a Sunday morning.
Becca’s based her sermon around our Saints - she began by walking amongst the congregation & choir
( . . . with a microphone 🎤) asking who their favourite Saint was.
A different,fun start to her lovely sermon !
We had a good choir of twelve today and today’s organist was Lucy.
*Today’s Communion hymn was set to the tune Londonderry Air - which accompanies today’s post.

All are most warmly welcome to this service.

And we will remember them.
