On behalf of the organising committee, may I offer sincere thanks to all those in the three churches of the Partnership, and further afield, who contributed to the success of the Partnership Birthday celebrations last Sunday.  I am very grateful to all who attended on the day – an astonishing 400 – as well as those who took part in the items on the Bowl stage, those who organised displays, and those who acted as stewards and who helped in many other ways such as transport and the refreshment marquee, and especially to the ministers in the three churches, for their encouragement and support.  We were fortunate in having sun and no rain on the day – prayers answered.  The bucket collection raised £240 towards the Brighter Futures appeal for the new radiotherapy unit at GWH.
