Sister Cecily used to come to our Thursday Fellowship up until she moved to Wellington for her final years. She also stayed on and joined us for Alpha one term after we'd shared lunch together. She was full of life and love for God and a delight to talk with in discussions or general chat. We had quite different opinions on some things but everything she said was done with grace. I appreciated her very much and her kindness to me. I learned much too in those Table discussions. It was a privilege to join her service today through livestream. Thank you. May you Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory Sister Cecily.
