Church News - St Margaret’s Church Stanford Rivers

Despite the terrible weather and the refreshment marquee nearly floating away, the Spring Concert with the Brentwood School Band was attended by more than 100 people who all had a most enjoyable evening.

The talent shown by these young people was amazing and the school is to be congratulated on having such a wonderful group of ambassadors!

The following day the Jubilee Songs of Praise was held followed by bubbly and cake and a grand time was had by all. The choir sang Vivat Regina and it took me back to the day of the coronation very moving.

The flag waving to Land of Hope and Glory was reminiscent of the last night of the proms but our organ sounded much better-many thanks to David Pattrick and the choir for all their hard work.
It was a great start to the Jubilee!

Many thanks to all our supporters. We managed to raise over £800 over the weekend towards the restoration of the cross on the roof.
