💐 Flower Festival 💐
Posted in Arts, Church, Events, Flora on Sunday August 4, 2024| Leave a Comment »
St Peter’s Church was decorated with flowers for the Flower Festival which was held on Sunday 21st July.
The morning began with a Songs Of Praise service followed by tea and cakes being served throughout the day. Lots of visitors came into the church and admired the flowers and arrangements which had all come from local gardens.
Evie’s Art Group exhibited some of their work and Parwich Primary School had their display of artwork and flowers in the Lady Chapel. All of which looked beautiful and received some lovely comments.
The church looked and smelled incredible, and the flowers remained in place for the week following, for visitors to admire.
A very big ‘thank you’ goes to everyone who helped to make the event happen, for all their time, hard work, efforts, donations and support. Also to all those who gave so generously, it really is appreciated.
Thank you also to John Lord for the attached photographs of the festival.
We shall be having a meeting in the church on Tuesday 13 August at 7.30pm to chat about further events and the possibility of having another Flower Festival next year.
Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you were involved this year or may like to be in the future.
For more information please call Delia, 390758 or email: dee.pegg@btinternet.com
