The service of dedication took place yesterday for the new bells. This was part of the service and AGM for the local bellringing Association.
I took the chance to take some video from outside the tower. The strong swirling wind made for some interesting audio effects!
Mary Weatherill, Licensed Lay Minister :-
Almighty God, we offer to you all the work that has been undertaken to restore the bells in this church and give thanks for the volunteers who have worked so hard to achieve this. We ask you to bless, sanctify and hallow all that has been done in this tower. Bless with your grace and skill all who ring here, and grant that the message of the bells may lift the hearts of all who hear them.
We dedicate these bells to the Glory of God, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
David Bagley :-
Gracious Lord, we receive these restored bells on behalf of your living church and the wider community. May we use them to proclaim your glory to the world.
Amen
