Bishop of Lichfield pays tribute to Her Late Majesty The Queen“I share the deep sorrow of people across the Diocese of Lichfield at the death of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and send our condolences to all members of the Royal Family.“The Queen lived a remarkable life of faithful service and maintained strength, courage and grace as she led our country through countless changes and challenges. She has served all our communities tirelessly and lived a life the like of which we are unlikely ever to witness again.“The Queen’s strong personal faith in Jesus Christ informed her sense of duty and her role as Defender of the Faith. We pray now that she finds rest and peace, assured by her faith, and for our cathedral and other churches across the diocese in the coming days and weeks as they offer a place of consolation for all those who mourn.“We also pray for His Majesty King Charles III at the beginning of his reign and we pray that he may know comfort as he grieves his mother’s death.” Source: www.lichfield.anglican.org
Several young men from the Kickstart Programme spent some months clearing random holly bushes, trimming shrubs and weeds etc in the churchyard. Recently, Wolverhampton City Council provided manpower to strim and clear the marestail weed and on Monday 1st August several people from Jennings Funeral Directors came and did some clearing work. As a result, the churchyard is looking much nicer for people walking through.Thanks to all the volunteers and thanks to God for his provision.
