How to surprise the Vicar on her 10th Anniversary in the parish was the challenge of this morning. Lesley announced the final hymn, and as the organist finished the intro all then went quiet. In this orchestrated pause, the Churchwardens spoke of all Lesley has achieved and presented her with presents from the whole congregation. After the service, the celebration continued with cake and drinks.
