100 years old!

St Alban's Day

June 22nd 1903 - June 22nd 2003

We had a wonderful weekend to celebrate the Centenary of the first Dedication of St Albans Church

Our weekend celebrations were thoroughly enjoyable.  The church was decorated with beautiful flower arrangements and the exhibition showed aspects of the 100 years of faithful work and witness. We welcomed Rev Peter Bailey (Curate 1962-1966) to our morning service.   In the evening, following a parish tea in the hall, we had the great pleasure of the choir of Southwell Minster, conducted by Paul Hale, who sang evensong and then gave a concert. 

This was inevitably a sad time since we were all anticipating the closure of the church.

And we also acknowledged the birth of a new Diocese of Ho in Ghana  and raised over £380 to be sent to support the work of the Anglican Church in the Volta Region.
