A great Parish Eucharist service this morning at All Saints. We had a congregation of about 40 today and our friends from Morning Star were present. We had different hymns and one of the Morning Star residents gave the first (Isaiah) reading and Sara the second one (from Ephesians). Bev gave an explanation of the work of the charity and I interviewed another of the residents who gave a testimony. In all we raised about £250 for the charity today - great achievement. i was really proud of what we did. Bev and Dave are now off for a well-earned break in Torquay. This afternoon, Sara and I took part in the Bentley Wood Walk which we had organised. Unfortunately, it was badly attended with only Dawn W. joining us with her black Labrador dog whilst Sara and I took Klynn's dog Otis for the long walk (5 miles) to the Bentley Barn and back. Tonight we watched the amazing closing ceremony of the Olympics. 17 wonderful days have finally come to an end with UK having 65 medals - 29 of which are gold. The best we've done in 104 years. Well done Team GB. What wonderful Games and it makes you feel really proud to be British. Wenow have the Paralympics to look forward to and Sara, Thom and I will be going up for the football on 1st September.
