The Tale of the Trees
Part
Three...
On Wednesday evening the
monthly meeting of St Faith's Services Family Support Group
took place in the context of
an evening session of the Christmas Tree Festival.
We were visited by an Army
Auxiliary band, the C.O. and a group of cadets from Merchant Taylors'
Cadet Force,
and a number of visiting
servicemen and women and forces chaplains.
A full church of regulars and
visitors sang carols and took part in a short but moving service
remembering
and praying for the dead and
wounded of Iraq and Afghanistan; after Padre George Perera gave the
final blessing,
everyone joined in
refreshments and socialising amongst the trees.
On Thursday several more parties of school children from local schools
visited us and sang to us.
Children
from Waterloo Primary School are seen in full song.
