Morning service at St Peter’s Church was conducted by Elizabeth Bennett who had just recently been licensed as reader at a special service in Workington. Elizabeth also showed the congregation a colourful banner she and Jean Sowerby had made.

The banner had a Lakeland motif and contains the words Jesus es el Senor (Jesus is Lord), and will be sent to a church at Tartagel in South America that Mrs Bennett had visited during the year.
