PAT ARTHUR

Man was made for joy and woe, And when this we rightly know, Through the world we safely go, Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine.
(William Blake)

These words from Blake have been our experience at Hilton Church this weekend. Amidst all the heart warming nativity plays and carol singing of yesterdays worship, we were coming to terms with the death of Pat Arthur, a lady of great grace and compassion, who was a central figure in the life of the congregation over many years. There's no words really to express the sadness we feel at this time. Pat's funeral will take place in the church next Monday at 11.30am. Our prayers are with Lloyd at this time of great loss.
