Well! What a Summer we have had!
For our church family, there has been much to celebrate!
Summer Celebration at Roadford Lake. This was such a wonderful occasion. Well attended by joyful Christians, who, with the help of Menestrouthi brass, brought the warmth of the sunshine into the hall as the real thing decided to hide behind teeming rain all morning!!
The visit of Origin Voices over the following weekend was wonderful in so many ways. It was so good to see people from all over the Mission Community supporting all the events. The worship on Sunday was a real treat and the Concert at Upcott surpassed all our expectations! Everyone who has spoken to me about it has said that the weekend left them feeling so much better.
As I write, there is a great deal of anticipation in the preparation being done at Lewtrenchard for two Church Family Weddings, we are looking forward to a wonderful Ruby Wedding Celebration at Lifton, and much work has been done to prepare for yet another wonderful Flower Festival weekend at Broadwoodwidger, which I am sure will be well supported by all. As the psalmist says in Psalm 133: Behold how good and pleasant a thing it is to dwell together in unity….
Much of the study of Church History is the study of arguments and fallings out…., and yet it should be of a people who live and worship together in love and work to proclaim God’s truth. I am certain that the last few weeks have been the latter rather than the former!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported these events in any way… Let us build on this and work together, not just for special occasions like these, but in our daily lives and in support of our Sunday worship.
With love and prayers,
Philip
