Edwin Hunter spoke of is in his address about giving anks and not to worry, it was great to see him back in St. James. Our Harvest is year was celebrated wi Holy Communion and having The Clerks Choral leading e singing really enhanced e service making it very inspiring. The Clerks Choral were very impressed wi e decorations and said what a display it is a very big undertaking and I am very grateful to all e people who decorated e windows.
