Thanksgiving Service
We will be having a thanksgiving service for Alan on Friday 19th July at 1.30pm at Falmouth Methodist Church. If you are able and wish to come, please wear what you're comfy in - it's what Alan would have wanted. Please bring a pebble to use during the service as a token of thanksgiving and remembrance. We invite you to the Membly Hall Hotel on the sea front afterwards for light refreshments and further memories.

Dear Sue & family,
ReplyDeleteThe LORD be with you and bless you.
Your writing has been most moving and inspiring. As we entrust Alan to God's love and care we do with every confidence in Him whom we trust.
Alan did a great work in Falmouth and we at FPCT will miss him greatly. He was always ready to share his faith, a great gift indeed. He was very much a Son of God here in this place (the first born being Jesus Himself).
Looking forward to a joyful occasion on Friday, but at the same time recognising your personal loss and sadness too. A time for smiles and tears.
(I'm sorry that Andrew Mumford cannot be present, as he is taking another funeral elsewhere at the same time).
Much love from Ruth too.
Please be in touch if we can do anything.
Much love, may God bless,
ROBBIE (Bowen)
