St John's West Hendon

Funeral of former Mayor Agnes Slocombe. Huge turnout excellent addresses from amongst other the Deputy Lieutenant and @mayorofbarnet . Moving words from the family .

The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD

Each of us will have a personal story to tell, a memory to cherish and a smile to spread - this tells us something of the lady that we have known. Our sadness turns to joy as we measure the impact that Agnes had in our lives and that of the local community.

It is with sadness that, today, we say goodbye to our dear friend, Agnes Slocombe. We thank God for her life, inspiration and her determination to do all that is right, her love for God and her love for people.

As we remember her, let us focus our minds and hearts on the one who was her rock and her salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God!

We've welcomed the first residents to our new neighbourhood @brentcrosstown with social housing amongst the first to be completed. 'I’m absolutely over the moon with my new apartment!” said Linda, one of the first residents to settle in. Read more: bit.ly/4kH1uNp

Years 5 and 6 were also invited to receive ashes this morning from Rev Julie to mark the start of Lent-a time for reflection and renewal.

At Neale House, Rev Roy led a reflection on the significance of Ash Wednesday. Pupils and staff were invited to receive ashes as an opportunity to reflect and come together as a community at SMSJ.

@DavidPintoD She is an amazing lady. Last Friday was the 55th Anniversary of her arrival in Barnet. Her work on behalf of others is an example to us all
