Harvest Thanksgiving Mass,
with the internment of ashes of David Carpenter,
followed by lunch.
The following photo's and report were
sent to me by Jill Halliwell.
During the Mass the ashes of David Carpenter were present in Church on a portable font symbolising Baptism and with the Paschal candle symbolising Resurrection. A floral wreath from his friends from St John's and St Catherine's was laid beside it.
David was a Churchwarden, and amongst many other things was responsible for putting the finances onto a sound footing and for much of the refurbishment of Wickham Hall.
During the service his widow Rosemary led the intercessions and his daughter Jacqui carried his ashes to the churchyard where family, friends and members of the congregation joined in a short ceremony of internment after which the family put a plaque in memory of David on the churchyard wall.
An enjoyable Harvest Lunch followed in Wickham Hall.There was a different menu to the Back to Church Sunday lunch and some different faces.
Collections at the service and lunch were for the charity Water Aid.
