Father John was pretty excited, I can tell you. Heaven knows what might have happened had the real one shown up.
But thank you to all who helped at the Summer Fayre. We raised over £3,000 towards church funds, which is just fantastic, as well as having a great day.
See below a great photo of the brownies leading the dancing. Reverend Sheila was right up for it. Dot and Karen look on, admiringly but less energetically.
This Sunday, we're looking forward to not one, not two but three baptisms on Sunday afternoon coming. It's a family, Maria, Leo and Eva are all getting baptised together: rather like the type of thing that happened in New Testament times. Great.
Meanwhile, we've now got a timetable of tasks to get done by autumn for the launch of the Chapel on the Hill. It should be a great launch on 1st October, 2009.
