The 2007 United
Benefice
Senior
Citizens'
Christmas
Dinner
Every
year, the more mature members of our congregation are invited to a
Christmas Dinner in Saint Faith's Church Hall.
This year, over 70 of the over-70s sat
down for the usual three-course blow-out, prepared in our kitchen - and
the kitchens of various members of the congregation around the
parish -
and served by a gallant band
of helpers. During the course of the meal, your photographer did the
round of the tables, asklng everyone to look happy (and to produce
their bus passes!).
Members of the Ministry Team (clergy
and readers) asked him to make it clear that they were present by
virtue of position rather than years,
although one or two weren't that far off the qualifying age...
After a carol sing-song it was time
for carriages (or motorised zimmers) and it was left for Father
Christmas to lend a hand with the clearing up.
