Appreciation Of Service;
Ken Farnell - 20 Years
Church Council wish to applaud and publicly acknowledge your active
involvement in all aspects of Church life over the past 20 years including various committees, JCC, Church Fete, Maintenance and of course Church Council, always supported by your wife Elaine, over the entire 20 years.
If we needed to coin a phrase, “20 years Ever Active “ would go a long way in identifying your service, to the Church communities of Portarlington, St Leonards and Drysdale.
We stand as one and applaud you, knowing that this service has always focused on Jesus, your Lord and Master.
Thank You Ken, may you enjoy more of the garden and the golf course.
