. THREE DAYS TO REMEMBER . A snapshot of a busy weekend at St Faith's On Friday, July 28th, five years since he left St Faith's for a new posting to the parish of Bushey, Fr Neil Kelley, our vicar from 1999-2012, returned to present an evening concert of popular classics, with a little help from some friends. By way of an appetiser, a lavish buffet was laid on in the church hall, giving those present a chance to meet and greet Fr Neil on his welcome return. The event raised the best part of £1000 for the back of Church Development scheme, which aims to upgrade the facilities in that area by providing kitchen and toilet facilities. On Saturday, July 29th, a different musical event took place at noon in church. As part of the Summer Saturday Recitals - which have been running for 19 years, Ranee Seneviratne paraded the Cantilena singers: a selection of her (mostly) young and talented music students. Then on Sunday morning, July 30th, after the 11.00 a.m. Sung Eucharist, it was time for a different celebration. Our good friend Margaret Davies (whom God preserve) had turned 90 a few days earlier, and is seen cutting a splendid cake to mark the event. |
