A festive afternoon was held at Jerusalem Vestry recently when three ladies of ‘Merched’ arranged and served a delicious Christmas Tea. All attended thoroughly enjoyed the occasion, unfortunately several members were not able to attend due to illness and other commitments, so the ladies kindly prepared ‘take-away trays for those members to enjoy at home.

All present were given a goodie-bag of chocolate treats to remind them of an afternoon well spent in good company, lovely food and special surroundings.
