Flower Service.
On Sunday the 14th June we held our annual Flower Service which started with a procession around the village of Henbury. This was followed by a service organised by the members of the Sunday School and included their prize giving. They showed how they learn through play acting and the congregation joined in with the actions. It was a very joyful occasion.
Members of the congregation lead by the choir and the vicar.
Lunch & Natter.
On Saturday the 20 June we held a Lunch & Natter when over 50 more senior members of the parish and the surrounding district gathered for lunch in the Church Hall. Transport is provided if needed by volunteers and we all sat down to an excellent lunch. These functions provide an opportunity for friends who may be not so mobile these days to meet together for a meal and a good chat, hence the title.

We are always dependent on our excellent catering volunteers and for once we have included a picture of them.
Afternoon Tea.
