Iden
Thank You Susannah. Susannah Miller accompanies all Church services on the organ throughout the year. It’s no mean task, and a real commitment. Since a lot of us can only manage ‘Chopsticks’, we have every reason to be grateful, and she never lets us down.
THANK YOU TO MICHAEL AND ALAN: Michael Miller and Alan Riley are the Church Wardens at Iden Parish Church. This too is no mean task, as there are a myriad of jobs, to keep a Church running smoothly. Joined by their small army of helpers, who do so much out of dedication, and desire for the comfort of the congregation, they keep the Church warm, for services, put out Church rubbish bins, keep the ‘Old Hall’ up to date, and running as it should do, in a welcoming manner .and make a whole host of decisions for the good of ‘All Saints Church’. I always smile when I see the flickering lights leading up the Church path on the night of the Carol Service. As unobtrusively as the Elves [in ‘The Elves And The Shoemaker’!], Michael will have put all those lights out for our convenience.
