Gift To St Thomass Church Wednesfield

A Memory of Wednesfield.

Gift to Church
Our year as Mayor and Mayoress of Wolverhampton was simply brilliant, we have some lasting memories of the events and the functions we attended on behalf of the city.
But we also tried very hard to help where we could a range of both individuals and organisations. I think that everyone now knows that we have provided a belt bucket and sling for the Royal British Legion so that the standard bearers can carry their emblems more comfortably.

We also have commemerated our Mayoral year by investing in an Oil Set for St Thomas´s Church. We have been very well served by St Thomas´s and we wanted to recognise the partnership we established with Rev John Points who acted as the Mayor´s Chaplain during our year.

We were advised that the Church would appreciate an `Oil Set´ so we have purchased one to assist in Church Services. Both Mary and I have been very fortunate to belong to the Church.

We were married in the Church and the family have a long record of belonging to the Parish Church.

Today 08/09/1973 Mary and I were married at St Thomas's Church. Making it 49 years of married life. During all of this time we have worshipped, and felt close to the Church and the Parish. During 2005/2006 we were Mayor and Mayoress of the City of Wolverhampton. The Rev John Points the vicar of St Thomas's Church was asked by us to become the Mayors Chaplain during the Year, which he graciously accepted. Again cementing our close links to our Parish Church.
