The service was to welcome Rachael Walker as a new Local Preacher. Rachael received a Bible from the circuit and the President and Vice-President of Methodist Conference sent a letter congratulating Rachael.
At the same service Rachael's dad, David Gent, celebrated 60 years as a Local Preacher. He received a long service certificate and a letter from the President and Vice-President of Conference.
Rev Kenneth Cupit has been an ordained minister for 70 years and this was also celebrated with a certificate and a gift from the circuit.
The service included the sharing of Holy Communion and was followed by a delicious tea.
Here are some photographs from the day.
