Her first Eucharist followed thai afternoon and was a joyful occasion. Our monthly Family S¢rvic¢ and regiular family craft activities in which she is actively involved conlinue to attract young families. Canon Bill Croft has played an imporianl supporting role in presiding and preaching, and it is always a pleasure to welcome Archdeacon Alison Booker and Canon Helen Dearnley who both live within the parish and assist with occasional servtces. None of these great benefits would have happened withoul the devolion. commilment and enthusiasm of our much-loved Vicar. Revd Michelle.
