The Thanksgiving Service held in our Church on L. Powell Wednesday, 1st August was conducted by the Rev. Martin Graham and Rev. Douglas Monkley. The in Mr. E. Davies tribute was given by Mr. John Morgans. To Mrs. Betty Protheroe and her family, we send our J. Morris sincere condolences. Rev. Margaret Renton gave us a very interesting talk on Herbs in the Bible. She brought samples of each one for us to see, smell and discuss.
Several members read suitable Bible verses in which the particular herbs are mentioned.
This was a reminder of the rich knowledge revealed in the Bible, extending even to such details. Ann Saunders of Weobley told us how she came to faith in Christ as a teenager, and about her missionary service in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. Our session ended with a Strawberry Tea and viewing of the Baptist Union's video about re-imagining mission. Your kind visits, gifts and cards which Colin appreciated. We thank you too for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to us afterwards, for the flowers, donations and cards, and particularly for your prayers which were a great source of comfort to us.
