Awaiting the moment...!
Marion previously had help in the lighting!
A happy congregation, for a happy day!
The cake with liturgical preparation for lighting and cutting!
Yesterday, 29th April, St Mark's Church held its patronal festival, transferred from last Wednesday (St Mark's Day is 25th April). It was a very happy occasion with twelve children and over forty adults present. There was a cake and there were candles, singing and smiles, raised arms and voices as St Mark's 'Birthday' was joyously celebrated!
Balloons too, and a deep breath.....
An offering and thanksgiving, and a moment to place symbolically gifts and lives before God.
