☕️ More tea, Vicar!We had a wonderful few hours in the vicarage garden sipping tea, eating cake, and enjoying good company together.The real highlight was having 28 people gathered from across our Wednesday and Friday congregations, as well as our Sunday 8am and 10am services. It was so lovely to see the wider St Edward’s family come together in one place.A simple afternoon, but a really special reminder that church is about friendship and community as well as worship. 🍰🌿
