The Mole Valley Silver Band were giving a concert this afternoon in aid of the Dyscover charity. This is their second year and both they and their audience like coming to our church.
The picture also shows the splendid Christmas tree donated by Chinthurst School parents association and beautifully decorated by Mary and Ian Garrett.
If you look closely you will also see that the sanctuary curtains have been taken down. But don’t get too used to the brick work behind the altar table. The curtain rail has been repainted and the new sanctuary curtains will be put in place during this week. The new curtains are given in memory of Keith Robertshaw, and they will be dedicated during next week’s service.
May you know God’s peace this week,
Tim
