“The Gift” was a perfect title to give to the fundraising event at The Old Rectory, in every way. The afternoon was the result of many gifts of time, talent and resources from our Flower Demonstrator Moira Neville, Guitarist Russell Wilkinson, Singers Emma-Louise McKenney and Adrian Neville, and not least the generosity of Catherine Hubbard in conceiving of and hosting the event in aid of The Friends of Caldecote Church.
The total amount raised will be announced on this website and also through our e-newsletter – sign up here if you are not already on the mailing list.
A wonderful demonstration of contemporary flower arranging demonstrated not only techniques and design ideas, but also the ultimate “Gift”, in four stages:
The Gift of Creation
The very first gift, in the Book of Genesis: God’s gift of creation in the Garden of Eden
The Gift of Choice
God gave Adam and Eve the gift of choice, but they chose the way of sin.
The Gift of Love
God so loved the world that he gave the ultimate gift of love, his only Son, Jesus Christ
The Gift of Grace
Through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and his resurrection to eternal life, we are saved by the amazing gift of the grace of God.
