Parish News: 

TThank you to the worshippers at Leek Seed Chapel for inviting us to celebrate with them the 200th Anniversary of the Chapel. Fr Paul led the service and it was a real celebration enhanced by the beautiful flowers and the displays surrounding us. Most stayed for coffee following the service and several of us stayed to enjoy lunch with them and it was good to get to know people we had perhaps not met before. I also went on the Saturday and had a really nice lunch, meeting people from the village I had not seen for ages and enjoyed a time catching up with them. The celebrations continue throughout the year so look out for the details. (See Page 7).

There was an abundance of plants for sale in the Bishop Gott Memorial Hall during May, thanks to Anne Tregunna’s green fingers attracting many people to come and buy. We were also fortunate to have the talents of Ann Dewings and Jan Reid, Ann for her wonderful homemade jams and pickles and Jan for her cake baking skills. We are grateful to all who contributed to the home bake stall and all who supported the sale or helped in anyway to raise £690 for parish funds.

The Pie and Pudding Lunch for Christian Aid was another successful venture. The tickets for the day were completely sold out weeks before the event and all attending seemed very happy with the meal of Cottage Pie or Fish Pie served, with vegetable and a good choice of desserts to follow. The total raised on the day was £379. Thank you to all who supported this and those working behind the scenes.
