THANKSGIVING SERVICE
ST MARY, GT MASSINGHAM
Service of Thanksgiving and Blessing at St Mary’s Church
Recently several projects that we have been working on
have come to fruition so it seemed right to celebrate and thank God.
Wickes generously donated cupboards for our Food Bank and Robin Arbenz kindly installed them during our coldest winter months,
skilfully coping with uneven floors and curving walls. Many thanks to both.
A gift of a new Lectionary, given by the family in the memory of the late Rev’d Julian Thomson, was presented by Rev’d Michael Paddison to Stephen Hudson, Church Warden. Both gifts were dedicated to the Glory of God.
Gifts and donations from the villagers have meant we now have the long awaited toilet . New paths are in the process of being laid, but flooding of the church ground has delayed this. We also gave thanks for the work of the Food Bank team organised by Anna. Also the volunteers who clean, tidy and polish the church weekly and our groundsmen who all work to keep our church looking beautiful. Thank you to everyone.
