The congregation of St John the Evangelist Church, Withycombe Raleigh, celebrated the coronation of King Charles III at the weekend.
Their celebration took place on Sunday May 7 with fizz, coffee and cake in the church hall, following the 10am Eucharist.
The church hall was delightfully decorated on the coronation theme. A beautiful and truly delicious Coronation cake and gluten-free fairy cakes were made by Mrs Penny Puttock.
Fr Robert Sellers led the assembly in a toast to our new King and his Queen.
The Eucharist included special prayers for King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Royal family.
The choir excelled themselves singing an anthem called “The Mountains Shall Bring Peace”, (written by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange for church choirs to be sung on the Sunday following the Coronation) led by organist and musical director Mr Philip White.
