Threads through Creation. You remember Mary recommended visiting this exhibition whilst it was on tour last year. If you missed it you have another opportunity as it is coming to Ely cathedral from 14^th June to 23^rd July. From the website: Threads through Creation is a spectacular sequence of 12 huge textile panels. It’s an exuberant retelling of the creation story in the book of Genesis, a retelling which many visitors will find both moving and breathtaking. www.jacqui-textile.com

We usually serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service.
