Around 40 PBS members and friends attended the branch Festival earlier this month in Lichfield Catedral.
The Rt Rrevd Paul Thomas, Bishop of Oswestry officiated and preached an excellent sermon, drawing on Luke 14:15–24 and the parable of the Great Banquet. The service also featured outstanding musical highlights, with Tallis particularly noted.
Special thanks are due to Branch Chair Fr Stephen Anderson (far left in our photo), who successfully gathered a diverse and engaged congregation from across one of England’s largest dioceses.
