Note : If you’d like to spend some time in prayer in the church during the chilly days of winter, please be aware that there is an electric heater at the front of the left-hand aisle. Just switch it ON when you arrive and turn it OFF when leaving.
You might be so good as to pass word on to people who drop into the church after visiting the cemetery.
Never Far Away
I thought of you with love today . but that is nothing new. . I thought of you yesterday . and days before that too. . I think of you in silence . as I often speak your name. . All I have are memories . and your picture in a frame. . Your memory is my keepsake . with which I’ll never part. . God has you in His keeping. . I have you in my heart.
Anon.
