Altar cloth celebrates church year

The Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Reading had the pleasure of accepting and blessing a new altar cloth and stole at St. Mary’s Church in Wargrave. The church was full of children, parents and members of the community at a special service. 'This is a really important occasion,' said Reverend Pam Gordon. 'Jesus said we had to become like little children and these children are showing us the way.'

Children and staff at The Robert Piggott CofE Infant School, Wargrave, worked with Pam on a combined art and spirituality project. A theme of ‘On the Move’ incorporated moving on through the church year in colours and symbolism. Pupils visited the church to learn about the church year and the setting for the proposed altar cloth and stole.
