Songs of Praise, St George’s Church was a delightful occasion. About 70 people from our local churches came to celebrate with songs and praise. A varied palette of hymns had been chosen by members of each church, each touchingly introduced and presented.  After the service tea  was served. And what a tea! Merce and Christian made blackberry jam with berries picked by the Children’s Liturgy; Sandra and the children baked delicious scones which were served with clotted cream and the jam.  There was an abundance of cakes made my our wonderful bakers. It was a delight! Thank you all for your baking, your help with serving our guests and of course, with the washing up! It is your help that make these occasions so successful. With warmest thanks from Anne Bowe and Margaret Piegrome.
