At a lovely service at Perranzabuloe on March 3rd the Bishop of St German, Bishop Hugh, presented Verna Jones with the St Piran's Cross. These are awarded annually to people who are being recognised for their service to church and community. Verna has performed many roles over a very long period at Tremaine, Churchwarden for a long time, Treasurer even, which was certainly not a role she wanted to take on! But first and foremost Verna has served the church with music - playing not just for services at Tremaine but at North Petherwin and other churches in the area, frequently stepping in to help when churches needed someone to fill the breach. Currently she is going into Beaumont Court residential home to provide music for worship there. She is a real stalwart and a very worthy recipient of the Award for Trigg Major Deanery.
