Thanks to all who made cakes, washed up or put up decorations for this special event.
Over 60 people joined us at the church this afternoon for tea and cake. Choir led the singalong and everyone joined in old folk songs. It was all good fun but if you did not get your Coronation coins, you must contact the parish clerk or speak to Jill. Thanks to all who made cakes, washed up or put up decorations for this special event. Baby Freya and proud mum made a visit to our post service tea and coffee and much fuss was made of her. We had as a church been praying for her mum during her pregnancy and immediately after her birth so it was our prayers answered to see both well and happy.
Our open the book team have been at it again - this time feeding the 5000 with loaves and fishes helped by the members of the school worship council who played the crowd.
A good crowd came to be entertained again by our friend Brian. The food was good and the company excellent. Brian sang for more than two hours and we do appreciate him giving up his time. £303.25 was raised for the Chapel as a result of everyone’s hard work. Thank you! Our service was led by Rev Chris Giles who reflected on the Easter day happenings reminding us of what an exciting encounter the women had, who went to the tomb early on the first Sunday.
A morning which gradually got busier and raised £115 for the womens shelter in Coventry Haven. Elizabeth and Hazel were in charge today and we also celebrated Elizabeth and Terry's diamond wedding celebrations with a cake.
Fiona led our worship but the service was dramatized by some of the open the book team who presented Jesus and the Palm Sunday story complete with a donkey. Fortunately the group do not work with animals so the beast was well behaved! The open the book team were back today - this time the story was the storm on Lake Galilee. The disciples woke Jesus up as they feared they would drown and he calmed the wind and waves. This year the theme of the service is based on Ephesians 1:15-19. The choir led the singing. Within the service with a number of ladies took turns to read from the written elements by the Taiwanese women. Fiona made a melt in the mouth pineapple cake of Taiwanese origin recipe. The choir sang and prayers were said and £104.50 raised for WDP.
