Thank You.

Dear Friends,

Well our Flower Festival has been and gone; and again it was a huge success. This is due largely to the tremendous hard work of so many people and it is right that I should say a very sincere Thank You to all involved in any way. Thank you to all those who helped in the setting up of the Festival or arranging the fantastic displays – Thank You to all who welcomed people at the door or acted as stewards – Thank You to all involved in the music, either in the Concerts or the Worship –  Thank You to those who spent time in the gardens - Thank You to all who helped in any way with the Refreshments, making the cakes, making the tea, the peeling of the Veg, making the tea, waiting on tables, making the tea, preparing the food, making the tea, serving the cakes and food, making the tea, washing up, making the tea and in case I haven’t mentioned it Thank You to all those who made the tea. We have a tremendous team here at St Peter’s  - Thank You to each and every member of the Team.

Last month Cynthia wrote an article about the Child Friendly Church Award and this is now progressing. At the last PCC  the form was duly filled in  and it was amazing how may Yes boxes we were able to tick. Again this is due to the very good Team we have at St Peter’s looking after our young people and children. The form has been sent to the Diocese and we are awaiting a visit from a Diocesan assessor. Once we have been assessed we will be told if we qualify for the Child Friendly Church Award. Please do remember our Children’s work in your prayers.

In September we will be looking at gaining another award – one that recognises the good working relationship that exists between the Church and our Church Day School. Again there will be forms to fill in and return to the Diocese and this will be followed by another assessment. Please do remember Sharon and the Staff and especially the Children in your prayers.

In the meantime have a good holiday.

Every Blessing

Stephen.
