Our meeting was held on Monday March 18th 2019, 2pm at The Town Hall. Prayers were led by the Rev'd Philip Edge.
The speaker was the Rev'd Maureen Read who has four parishes, Welshampton, Colemere, Cockshutt and Petton to cover.
The Rev'd Maureen gave the most inspired and moving talk "Us Women" about her journey to becoming a Priest, and the four women that made such an impression on her life along the way.
A vote of thanks was given by Mrs Mavis Griffiths. Teas and lovely homemade cakes were made and served by Mrs Phyllis Dean and Mrs Joyce Feeney.
Our next meeting will be on April 15th, 2pm at the Town Hall when Chris Jobson will be giving a talk on The Poor Law and the Workhouse.
I would like to wish everyone a very happy and blessed Easter.
Yours with love,
Ann
