CHURCH wardens and parishioners from the United Benefice of Egloskerry, North Petherwin, Tremaine, Trewen and Tresmeer met recently, celebrating 25 years of Rev Canon Geoffrey Pengelly’s ministry.

The celebration took place on Monday, September 26, and saw Bishop Christopher deliver a small address, conveying how much Rev Geoffrey was loved and admired in the community, and how he stood as a testament to ‘all that is good in a human being’.

He presented Rev Geoffrey with a beautiful book, depicting aspects of all five churches in watercolour, painted by Celia Ollsson, an artist from Bondleigh in North Devon.

All who attended enjoyed sumptuous refreshments and the conversation flowed perfectly.
