On Low Sunday, 11 April, we were pleased to be able to worship in church for the first time since December 2020 and were delighted to welcome Gifle Valley neighbours in a congregation of 21. Our liturgy was changed at the last minute to the special service issued by the Church of England in memory of His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Henry Johnsen with his father James had erected our flagpole at the top of the tower the day before and affixed the Union Flag at half-mast. Henry tolled a bell 41 times before the service. Revd. Tony Gilbert included in his sermon a warm appreciation of a long life of service and some reflections on his meetings with Prince Philip while in the RAF. We look forward now to Sunday services being able to carry on. Please continue to refer to the notice board and the website www.threevalleysteam.org. 9
