ST
THOMAS CHURCH, FOXLEY
Harvest
Festival
Alan Cunnington preached
his final sermon at Foxley on Sunday 15th September. All that we
need in this life, he said, comes from God, and we in turn must respond
with equal generosity and trust.
St Thomas’ was as usual
beautifully decorated and the congregation had indeed been generous with
God’s gifts, as everywhere amongst the flowers were fruit and vegetables,
which will be donated to Reepham Day Centre.
At the end of the service
John Harvey, churchwarden, paid tribute to the splendid example of a life
dedicated to the service of our Lord which Alan, supported by his wife
Jean had given us. Providing for the spiritual needs of the parishes
had been a demanding task to which the Cunningtons had responded with total
commitment. Mr Harvey wished them a happy and contented retirement.
Reciprocating, Alan spoke of the friendship he and Jean had experienced
and thanked the regular members of the congregation for their help and
support.
A sociable ½ hour
followed with wine and ‘nibbles’, during which a toast was drunk to Alan
and Jean.
Diana Harvey
New
Kneelers
Thank you to the 14 people
from Foxley, Bawdeswell and Billingford who have offered to work a tapestry
kneeler for St Thomas’. We do appreciate this response which will
give the project a good start. We are at the planning stage looking
at designs and colours appropriate for the church. We hope to have
these plans ready in the near future.
There may be some of you
reading this who are unable to work a kneeler yourself, but would like
to be involved by contributing towards the cost. This could be in
memory of a family member or friend. We plan to have a permanent
label on each one, recording the names of the person who worked it, the
donor and the one to whom it has been dedicated.
For further information
please contact Diana Harvey (01362) 688650 or Monica Hatch (01362) 688316.
