2012 Church Festival

The Church Festival was celebrated over the weekend 29th-30th September. A central feature of this year’s Festival Display was an exhibition of a series of paintings by Christine Bainbridge entitled “Embers of Hope”. Each painting was accompanied by a ‘meditation’ and provided a most challenging reflection on life, decay, regeneration and one’s true place in creation

Christine (pictured above) visited the exhibition on Saturday. On both afternoons our organist, Stephen Holmes, gave a recital on our splendid “Willis” organ, and the Society of Royal Cumberland Youths rang a full peal on the church bells. Church records and silver were displayed and the church, as always, was beautifully adorned by flower arrangements.
