Chapel Committee/Trustee Report 2021
Well, another challenging year has been negotiated. I hope we are now coming to the end of this awful pandemic. I am hoping to return to a peaceful retirement after a year helping with the vaccination programme, both at the Etihad and in schools. My clinical skills were a little rusty, but I soon got back into the swing of things. I have, in the main, enjoyed my time with the team and will miss their company. The pandemic has touched us all, in many ways, we have all suffered loss. That has come in the form of bereavement following the many loved ones who have died, to the loss of freedom and company that we all may have taken for granted.
I was personally pleased to see the idea of the wind phone come to fruition and would like to thank Robert, my husband (not something I do often enough) for his work on the project. He was somewhat sceptical when I first mentioned the wind phone but none the less, he was still happy to help. By the end of the project he understood its worth as he was the first to use it to speak to his lifelong friend Alan Laver who was going to help Robert on the project, but who sadly passed away before work got underway. I know many others who have spent some quiet time there to reflect and grieve.
The addition of the garden tables allowed us to meet outside in the better weather for coffee which was appreciated. I have seen office workers making use of the tables during lunch a time that is pleasing. You may have seen work going on at the back of the chapel gardens that is a project to include a community garden and I would like to thank Nick Scott for his efforts that will make this a pleasant space to be enjoyed by all.
It was good also, to meet physically for the brass band concert in December2021 which was the first time in over 2 years that the band had played in public. It was a good event both from a social viewpoint and also made a profit. The other social events have been a couple of evenings bowling that have been most enjoyable and more are to follow, so dust off your bowling shoes!
I am hoping the next year will bring some brighter moments as we plan for more chapel activities. We have new members who have some fresh ideas for events and activities that I am looking forward to. We have grown as a community both in chapel attenders and those joining us via zoom. I would like to thank all the committee members who have met via zoom over the past 12 months, which is not a bad way for a committee to meet. Helen Copley is stepping down from being a committee member after 10 years or more, but this does not mean she is giving up the time she extends to chapel work and is still going to take on the role as membership
secretary. Thank you, Helen. If you want to get involved with the running of the chapel, be it as a committee member or not please let me know. We all have gifts to share. May we stride forward into this New Year with hope and love.
