At today's beautiful service at St Edward's Church Romford, we welcomed the family of Peter Medcraft. Peter was a dedicated Sacristan and Head Server for 40 years. The new Easter Candle stand is a gift to the church from Margaret in memory of her husband Peter. Today as you can see the candle stand was blessed by Ven Mike Power, Archdeacon of Southend and former vicar to St Edward's Church, Romford. It was lovely to welcome Father Mike back home. Thank you to Margaret for the beautiful gift. We remember Peter fondly, and this is permanent reminder to the congregation, of all his wonderful work for St Edward's Church.

Today we had a brilliant All Age Service at St Edward's Church. Romford.We learned all about the shining light of Jesus reflecting God's glory, with some of our children playing key roles to help us understand. The message today was that everyone has the light of God and when we leave today we shine bright.Everyone took part, with our congregation getting their phones our to radiate light, on Jesus wrapped in tin foil. Elijah had some problems with their beard and hat, but it was great fun.Come along to the most inclusive church possible, where everyone plays a part. A really warm welcome awaits you.
