A Royal Visit to Remember: Celebrating History and Heritage at Our Church

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that our church recently celebrated the royal visit of the King and Queen during their trip to Guernsey. This memorable occasion was marked by a tea party held in front of our church, a spot of historical significance and deep community pride.

A Historic Reenactment

The tea party was not just any gathering; it was a poignant reenactment of a significant moment from our past. In 1945, after the liberation of Guernsey from occupation, King George VI visited our island. During his visit, our church hosted a tea party in the very same location. This event symbolised hope, renewal, and the beginning of a new chapter for our community. By recreating this historical tea party, we honoured our heritage and celebrated the enduring spirit of our island.

A Warm Welcome

The King and Queen were greeted with great enthusiasm by our congregation and the broader community as the drove past us on the Grange. The event was filled with joy, as families, friends, and visitors came together to partake in this unique celebration. Our church grounds were adorned with beautiful decorations, and the atmosphere was filled with the warmth of fellowship and the sound of laughter.

A Special Meeting

During the visit, our minister, Justin, had the privilege of meeting the King. This meeting was a significant highlight of the day, symbolising the strong bond between our church and the community it serves. 

A Day to Remember

The tea party were a fantastic time for all who attended. It was a day of celebration, reflection, and unity, reminding us of the strength and resilience that have carried our community through history. We are grateful for the opportunity to host such a meaningful event and look forward to continuing our tradition of service and fellowship.

As we reflect on this memorable occasion, we are reminded of the importance of community, tradition, and faith. Our church remains a cornerstone of support and hope for all who seek it, and we are blessed to have shared this special day with the King and Queen, our congregation, and our beloved island community.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success. We look forward to many more celebrations and opportunities to come together in faith and fellowship.

Blessings to all!
