St. Eigon's Church News

After the frenetic but hugely enjoyable Hay Festival it was good to be back to more measured times and the familiar comfort of Sunday communion at St. Eigon's. The green altar frontal echoing the by now lush Summer leaves outside, and inside sweet smelling roses and paeonies, alcemilla, lavender and delphiniums giving life to the simplicity of the church.

A friend of Father Richard from Cheltenham, having celebrated his 25 years in the Priesthood at St. Mary's, took the service at St. Eigon's two Sundays ago. It was strange to hear Father Richard singing from the back of the congregation, to find him by us at the altar rail instead of serving and to see a guest dog sitting by the guest organist playing the hymn tunes, but then no two services are ever the same at St. Eigon's.

Cosmo Davies funeral was inevitably very sad for the huge company of friends and family who came to pay their last respects. David Jones gave a very moving tribute and Father Richard's prayers, as always, gave all of us present hope and comfort. May Cosmo now at last rest in peace.

We are finally nearing completion re the restoration. Rourke-Davies, who had given us such headaches, have gone into liquidation (we could see it coming) so the PCC meets on 11th August to finally go ahead with tidying up the loose ends. If anyone has anything to bring up at the meeting, restoration or otherwise, please let Jan or I know in good time.
