‘SONGS OF PRAISE’

Morning really did gild the sky on Saturday 14^th January.  The sun was shining, spring flowers bursting into life and a repaired roof, what more could we ask for.  About 80 people attended the service led by Rev. Margaret and we were delighted that Archdeacon Clive Cohen and his wife were able to come and also Rev. Raymond Wood.  There were representatives from the architects, builders and some of the bodies from whom we received grants, including Mrs Priscilla Hext from the Cornwall Historic Churches Trust. Ray Shaddick, made the journey from Bude to represent Radio Cornwall.   How wonderful it was to hear the congregation singing their hearts out to the eight chosen hymns, including one especially written for the service by Lady Le Bailly.

Archdeacon Cohen was asked to cut the first slice of the Celebration Cake made by Lady Le Bailly and beautifully decorated by Dianne Bartlett and everyone then enjoyed a piece along with a glass of sherry.  Unfortunately some of our invited guests were unable to come, several due to illness, but they will still be able to hear the service as it was  recorded. We were very fortunate that Gary Pearce, a free lance recording technician who does a lot of the outside broadcasts for Radio Cornwall, was able to help us out by making a recording of the service (free of charge).
