Palm Sunday bought weather more suitable for Christmas, very cold with a biting east wind. Non the less those of the congregation who were able joined the procession of Palms around the outside of the Church, holding up their Palm Crosses and singing 'All Glory Laud and Honour' . the Procession was lead by Father Stephen and the Acolytes and Crucifer accompanied by a real donkey, closely attended by his owner, local farmer and ice cream maker Caroline Spiby and her sons. The congregation was glad to return to the warm church, where the service continued with a reading of the Passion Gospel by several members, young and old, lead by Mike Fowler. The choir sang 'Ave, Maria' by Edward Elgar Op 2 No 2. The service was followed by coffee and the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting the Church Wardens, Janet Harland and Chris Field, were unanimously re-elected, Father Stephen thanked Janet and Chris for all their hard work throughout the year. A new PPC was adopted unopposed, and the annual report presented and accepted. Mike Fowler presented his Treasurers Report, warning us that costs are likely to rise in the future.
And so we enter Holy Week, and follow Jesus to the Cross and onwards to Resurrection and Joy. Please do look at the calender for services during Holy Week and Easter and we hope to see you at the services.
