Happy Ascension Day!

I'm delighted that today's Minister's Letter has been written by Erna and is now on the website and making its way to your email in boxes or home letter boxes. 

The Church Officers' Meeting this week is being held tomorrow morning.

In more usual times many church choirs would have climbed up their towers and greeted this morning's dawn with an anthem or two.  Today we'll just have to be content with a service on Radio 4 in which a great chorus of voices from around the country joins together in the Hallelujah Chorus!  We'll be marking The Ascensionand taking it as our theme in our audio service this Sunday - which is being recorded this afternoon and put together tomorrow.

However, today is also a special day for another reason - it's the 100th birthday of our church member Mrs Peggy Babbington.  We wish Peggy a very Happy Birthday.

This afternoon a small from of us, physically distanced, will stand outside of Peggy's bungalow and sing to her.  We'll also leave her some flowers and cake as we pull some party poppers.

Peggy's smile and sense of humour brightens up every coffee time we hold after morning service and we wish her God's richest blessing on her special day.

May God's blessing be yours in all you do this day,

Ian
