Celebration
Various folk who could not attend our 60th Anniversary celebrations sent messages with their apologies .
Rev Barbara Allen
Thank you for the invite , but this time I will be unable to attend ( was the last big occasion the 50th anniversary ? It was a wonderful gathering ). I am sure it will be a wonderful occasion , with lots of stories , photographs , laughter , and tears . St Margaret ' s will always be an important part of my faith journey ; ordained there , mentored there-loved there ! St Margaret ' s ( and Holy Cross ) are special , special people who live out God ' s grace and God ' s encompassing love and care of / for others . I have been blessed many times over by the church family . Blessings and love , Barbara Allen
