REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
Here is the Remembrance Day Tribute from the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
The painted bottles are made to resemble headstones in War Grave cemeteries and each one has a painted tribute on it. They are displayed on the grass in front of the church.
Hilary, our minister, held a short dedication service on Friday. They were illuminated by battery tea lights. The effect was very atmospheric.
