PLATINUM JUBILEE VILLAGE CELEBRATION on Friday was indeed a wonderful occasion for the whole community. Thanks be to God! The Jubilee Service in Houston Killellan Church was very well attended, then, here at St Fillan’s, the Jubilee Garden Party was hugely enjoyed by a real cross section of both congregations and the wider community. All enjoying, too, the opportunity to socialise together after such a long and difficult two years. Even the sun shone on us - eventually! A very sincere thank you to all who attended, personally donated, handed-in baking and food, and especially to those of you who volunteered, giving up many-hours of your time to make the occasion possible and then worked so hard together on the day to ensure that the village Platinum Jubilee was a resounding success, truly a day to remember in Houston. Well done, St Fillan’s!

PRAYER FOR JUNE: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I Place all my trust in You.
