The service was well attended, and everyone received a very warm welcome on what was a bitterly cold morning.

The Bishops enlightening sermon was tinged with sadness when he began by remembering our previous Team Rector, Rev'd Philip Daniel, whose funeral he had attended the previous Thursday.

Albert and Andy read for us and Janet Stubbs lead us in our prayers.

Our thanks go to Bishop Michael for making the time, in what must be an extremely full diary, to join us at a very challenging time for us all.
