.PE and drama and display’s of work. Girl’s Brigade breaks up for the summer.
The Rector is doing a series of ‘How to set up for Holy Communion.’ These sessions are for all who are interested as to ‘what is what’ on the communion table with the chalice and paten and small linens and what the linens are called. It is however particularly aimed for those who ‘lay the table’ before the communion service and care for the linens. Boring? No - it is actually a very interesting subject as there is a great deal of history and practicality involved.
Desertserges and Farranthomas have already had a go. There will be further instruction/practice (lasting 10 -15 mins) at Kinneigh on 7th March and at Kilmeen on 14th March, both after the 11.30 services.
Congratulations to Arthur Shorten and Shirley Salter on their engagement.
