Harvest Supper

Last Saturday we held a Faith Harvest Supper with line dancing for beginners. Some beginners found the moves more difficult than others.

A "good ol' boy" taking a drink from his hip flask (I was told it contained Vimto)

For some, jelly bean dominos was more interesting.

Confirmation

At last!

Jason Booth is the last of this year's Confirmation candidates who has had difficulty getting to a Confirmation Service due to work commitments. Here he is seen with Bishop Mark following his Confirmation last Sunday at Christ Church Denshaw.
