Obituary

Mrs Helena Siddall died on December 26th 2010. Helena was a long time member of our congregation and was renowned for her handicraft, at which she was very skilled. Helena was much-loved by us all and we miss her. We send our condolences to her family, who wish to express their thanks to everyone for the kind donation of £400. The money will be divided between the British Heart Foundation and the Alzheimer Society.

How to plant your garden

First, you come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses

For the garden of your daily living

Plant three rows of peas

1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash

1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce

1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips

1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

To conclude, we must have thyme

1. Thyme for each other
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

Let’s add a row of “glads” to this garden

1. Glad to live in a free country
2. Glad to have all my good friends
3. Glad to be able to worship God !
