​She is already collecting cards!

The service gets underway with Julia reading the Scripture first line and then Lisa will read the Collect for the day

Lisa & Regan do the actions for singing along to Lisa's favourite video song:
'​Our God is a great big God'

Lisa about to receive presentations and mementos from the Church admin team.
These are shown in close up and more detail below.

Above: It's the end of the service and time to greet members of the congregation as they exit church.

At right: that final moment before removing robes for the last time.

Some of the presentations made during the Service:

Lin begins the presentations with  celebration party balloons and a bag full of other stuff!

Lisa displays the box containing a glass hanging plate with a church scene very symbolic of St Stephens!

Lisa seen holding the miniature 'house' containing monetary donations collected from the congragation over the past few weeks, and from Lorraine, packets of chocolate buttons, Bourneville of course! 

Tim dons one of his many outfits, here his skiing kit, to describe Lisa's various skiing vacations, and love of foreign chocolate!

The children from Youth Church presented a poster created earlier on the day.

Lisa displays another glass hanging plate with emblem of a cross.
