St Philleigh Church and the Philleigh Parish Meeting joined together to celebrate the 90^th birthday of Her Majesty the Queen

The celebration began in church with a service of thanksgiving for the Queen and her service to our nation. Councillor Robert Wing, (pictured), Chair of the Philleigh Parish Meeting, read a lesson. The other was read by churchwarden Mr Jim Pascoe.

 Following the service there was lunch at the Roseland Inn to which all parishioners were invited. We enjoyed an excellent feast and proposed a loyal toast to the Queen. Many thanks to Katie and Phil at the Roseland Inn for making this possible.

Parishioners were given copies of the book ‘The Servant Queen and the King she serves’ by St Philleigh Church. The book traces the Queen’s life and offers insights into her remarkable faith. If you would like to have a copy of this book, please contact Jill 01872580117 email jill@jilledwards.com

Beating the Bounds was a damp(!) but fantastic experience again this year as Jim Pascoe led us along parts of our boundary where members of the public could never usually access by themselves. The views were stunning and the scenery breath-taking. We took time on the walk to be thankful for God’s amazing provision and to remember those who work on the land on which we stood and on the sea along our boundary. We prayed or our neighbouring parishes and our neighbours throughout the world.
