TREASURES

There are treasures of many a different kindFor some it can be memories, and others an exiting find.Treasure is something we are told thats valued for its rarityWhat becomes a treasure to you, will be something different for me.

A special piece of jewellery, or an heirloom passed down,A card, a letter, a wedding or christening gown.A baby’s first smile, these are things that we hold dear,And to ponder a while about them, can sometimes bring a tear.

Let us take the time to think, of the work of our GOD’S hand.So many wonderful creations, much more than the grains of sand.The roaring seas, a mirrored lake and tumbling waterfall.And overhead against blue sky, the birds give there sweet call.

Take my hand and walk with me through the countryside.Down leafy lanes and flowering woods, came and abide.Can you see the treasures? as far as the eye can see.The beauty and colour of nature, and all of it is free.

God gives in abundance from his eternal store.The love of family and friends, and yes even more.The world, the greatest gift, and most valuable treasure ever,Is JESUS CHRIST his son, who is our Lord and Saviour.

So, dear friends, when you are feeling low, and your day gives no pleasure.Look into your heart, and bring to mind memories that you treasure.But remember most of all, the love of God’s dear SON.Who gave his life for you, and victory over death has won.

Sylvia Shield

From some of the gentleman's gardens in the neighbourhood, as many as 2,000 peaches have found their way into Truro market, and sold to

dealers as low as 3d. per dozen. from the West Briton 150 years ago.

Thanks May I thank all those who travelled from various churches to sing in our Old Tyme Hymn Sing in October, to all who supplied refreshments, to the soloist Rev. Mark and Simon Liddicoat, to David Philp the pianist, to Paul Langford who designed and erected the stage, to Peter Sully our VT and sound engineer, to all who came and sang and sang until the windows rattled, and to anyone who helped in any way. Thank you one and all....Darrell.

(hoping to do it all again on Wed 27 April 2016)

What a Surprise. (To the male population ...Beware!!)

When your wife starts asking questions about things you had done before you met her, be prepared for the unexpected.

I wasn't and what a surprise I had. When Revd. Mark and the leadership team presented me with a

certificate for 60 years service as organist to the Methodist Church, along with a framed picture, of Perranwell Station as it was in 1957.

THANK YOU ALL
