The Bowls Club meet on Friday for a celebratory lunch in our newly refurbished Church Hall. Over fifty members attend.
There are many things to celebrate - birthdays, special wedding anniversaries and fifty years service in ministry. Advancing years are no barrier to fun and their laughter soon fills the room. I go round taking photographs and hear story after story. It is such a privilege to help document this lunch in pictures.
I meet the most senior member of the club, the two friends whose paths first crossed as four year olds in primary school, a couple at the back still obviously deeply in love after fifty years of marriage. The one thing everyone has in common is the desire to create and be part of a community.
Don't we all feel that need just to belong ...
