Monday 25th October

Today we had the funeral of Celia at CPC. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a friend Debbie as our pianist at such short notice. Thanks Debbie.
The funeral was reasonably well attended and all things went well in a funeral sense. Near the end of the service I invited people to share or pray. A number of people came forward and eventually I needed to intervene as , of course this cannot continue forever. We served coffee and biscuits in the Church hall and most stayed for this.
The family appreciated the service and I and others appreciated them having the service in Sydney as Celia has been taken back to Newcastle to be buried.
She was a dear sister and I shall miss her presence.
However I know that she is being looked after much better where she is now.
Thanks for your prayers
Michael
