Today we celebrated the birthday of the Church - the great Feast of Pentecost. To mark the occasion, we had a guest speaker, the Jesuit Father Ron Darwin. He spoke about the feast, and about its relevance to the parish's jubilee celebration this year to mark our 50th birthday.
Preparations are going well for the jubilee service on Friday June 19th at 7.30pm. Former parishioners and civic dignitaries have been invited. A chart on the wall shows the progress of the shared supper with parishioners pulling together to provide a sumptous feast.
Regrettably the parish games night has had to be cancelled. This was scheduled for Friday June 5th. Only three tickets were sold despite plenty of publicity - so the people have spoken!
The holiday club cycle finishes next Sunday (June 7th) so make sure you are paid up to be in with a chance of winning the £1,000 top prize.
It was good to see former parishioners Joseph and Christine Burr back visiting the parish today with Katherine and Alexander.
