50 years celebration

Thackley Wives Group have just celebrated 50 years! It’s quite amazing to see some of the ladies who are still active members and actually started the group back in 1962. Founder members included Pat Farrar, Mary Souter, Mary Metcalfe, Jeanne Peckover, Jean Heggs and Margaret Austin. Over the past years the Wives have raised considerable amounts of money for the church, and helped at the Christmas and Summer Fairs. Well done Ladies! A celebration took place at Oakwood Hall.

The theme of their service was "Words" and their wonderful words took us on an inspiring and thought provoking journey: Introduction & Opening Prayer Hymn: MP 307 I will enter his gates The Power of Words Hymn MP 225 He’s got the whole wide world Words & Their Meanings The Use of Words Hymn: MP435 Lord Jesus Christ New Testament Reading 1: Mark 4: 35 – 41 Hymn: MP 456 Make me a channel of your peace Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones New Testament Reading 2: Titus 3: 2 Purple Feather Film: Hymn & Offering:  MP 179 Go tell it on the mountain Prayers, Prayers of Intercession & Lord’s Prayer Pra
