Thank you!

A huge thank-you to all who contributed to and attended the festivities for our Patronal Festival. It was an wonderful offering of worship and music, and a shared celebratory lunch, and we are very grateful to everyone who made it possible: our clergy, our visiting celebrant and preacher Bishop Lindsay Urwin, our caterers and all who worked tirelessly to arrange the lunch, our musicians, and all who worked invisibly behind the scenes ensuring that all our liturgies and performances could happen. Thank you also to those of you who attended and supported us with your presence - we are grateful to you all.
