Pentecost
Sunday 2008, the congregation wore red and Renee Finn's flowers
reflected the fiery import of the day. The 'vase' was her pasta pot - a
real bubbling forth of the Holy Spirit! |

The
first week in June 2008 saw us host a Retreat in Daily Living. Mary and
Lindsay from the Centre
for Christian Spirituality in Cape Town
accompanied eight participants as they explored prayer in their
journeys with God. Every
six weeks the group will gather for a meditation and a shared meal. We
trust that the group will grow as word of its meetings spreads. |
A
Creative Fellowship group has grown from the Retreat. Townsfolk and
visitors are most welcome to pop into the church hall in Bank Street any
Thursday afternoon from 2.30pm for a cup of tea and an opportunity to
build a jigsaw puzzle, play rummy-cub, draw or use the pastels and
crayons provided. Gentle music and good company are guaranteed.
