Fly­ing down to Rio pho­to­graphs

As those who atten­ded will know, pho­to­graphs and videos were taken dur­ing the Fly­ing down to Rio War­dens Din­ner last month.

Cop­ies of the pho­to­graphs have been placed on the green notice board in the hall.  Cop­ies of Videos are also able to view.

The Par­ish also wishes to post the pho­to­graphs and videos on its web­site and Face­book page. Before we do so, please view the pho­to­graphs (and videos) and let us know if you have any objec­tion to us post­ing them.

We are aim­ing to post the pho­to­graphs and videos before the end of this month, so please let Jen­nifer McGov­ern or the War­dens know if you have any objec­tions before then.  Thank you!

Sat­urday 28th Novem­ber from 9.30am – Work­ing bee to clean up the church, the hall and the grounds in pre­par­a­tion for the Com­mis­sion­ing of The Rev’d Jack Mon­aghan.

________________________________________________________________

Monday 30th Novem­ber at 7pm – Com­mis­sion­ing of The Rev’d Jack Mon­aghan as our new Rect­or fol­lowed by sup­per.

Par­ish Coun­cil is cur­rently look­ing into video­ing the event at Fr Jack’s request, as he has rel­at­ives and friends in SA and in Scot­land who would like to see it.

A cam­era would prob­ably be set up in the gal­lery and aimed at the sanc­tu­ary where the Induc­tion mostly takes place.  It would then be avail­able with a link, after it has been edited.

It would be appre­ci­ated if every­one did not take pho­tos dur­ing the ser­vice and waited until the end.  There will be offi­cial pho­tos taken of the event.

We hope as many of our parish­ion­ers as pos­sible will be able to attend and help in pre­par­ing and serving sup­per to our many guests.

The War­dens will sup­ply cham­pagne and orange juice, tea and cof­fee.

Help would be appre­ci­ated early on Monday after­noon to make sand­wiches and to set up the hall. If that’s not pos­sible for you, per­haps you would make a cake or a slice or con­trib­ute some sushi or a plat­ter of cheese and or fruit and savoury bis­cuits.
