Palm Sunday was marked at Tremaine with a visit from two donkeys! Florence and Bella, the donkeys, with their attendants Gaby and Tom Greene, led the congregation down the hill where James and Bella Hopper read the two readings. Following some prayers everyone progressed back to St Winwaloe Church for the rest of the service led by Assistant Curate, Rev. Nicki Farr, which included a reading of a Passion Play with parts taken by people in the congregation. Miss Verna Jones played the keyboard for the hymns.

Important News concerning our Vicar Canon Revd Geoffrey Pengelly.On behalf of the Church Wardens and PCC at Tremaine--we recently received a letter from Revd Geoffrey Pengelly to say he would be retiring as from 30th September.This information which came during the Isolation period somewhat added to the poignancy of this decision, here at Tremaine, and probably with the other Churches in the Benefice.We shall remember--- his professionalism, and his real love and concern for the well being of the Church and Community.His dedication to his duties has been remarkable throughout a span of 29 years. We would especially welcome further contributions from people who have stories and memories of our Vicar over this long and special period of valued Service . Kind Regards, Tim Hopper/Verna Jones.
