Friday 1st May 2020

Today, at The Crematorium and then by a graveside, we'll say 'farewell' to two members of AFC.  Both played their part amongst us with considerable grace.

Keith Pulford loved nothing better than filling our church with music.  Catherine Dolman loved attending worship and sharing in fellowship, and played her part well in a numbers of clubs and societies connected with AFC.

We pray that Pam and John, who have lost such faithful partners, will continue to be surrounded by the love and prayers of our church community.

Today I'm delighted that we are able to publish another of Heather's helpful and touching Reflections. 

The audio service for Sunday is being assembled today from various recordings that have been made at different times, places and by different people throughout the week.  Our Regional Minister, The Revd Geoff Colmer, is the preacher this week and I'm grateful to him for being willing to take part.

Finally, our thanks to the editors of Family News for a splendid May edition which has now been sent through to us all in a variety of ways.  It's a full magazine, reflecting love and thanksgiving for those who have recently passed away and a celebration of all the optimisim and hope to be found among us during the strangest of days.

May God's blessing and joy be with you today, and this weekend, in all you do.

Ian
