Shirley Wearne preached at the morning service, led by the worship leader.

In the afternoon the church was full to capacity at the service of recognition and welcome to Susan Bennetts, Pauline Reed and Sylvia Richards, three new Circuit local preachers.

The Rev Danny Reed led the service and the other Circuit ministers all took part, together with the Rev Steve Wild, district chairman and the secretary of the local preachers meeting.

The sermon was given by the Rev Andrew Hill. A Bible was presented to each of the three ladies and they in turn gave thanks for the support and encouragement they had been given during their training. Organist was Nigel Dower.

After the service, refreshments were served in the Wesley Hall.
