Invitation to Octogenarians
The Nelson Cathedral is
inviting anyone celebrating their 80th birthday this
year
to a thanksgiving service for the Queen next Sunday.
Her Majesty celebrated her 80th birthday on 21st April
this year, but the
official celebrations continue
throughout the year. Dean Charles Tyrell says
the Nelson
service is a community celebration that is open to
everyone.
³It is an opportunity to honour our Queen
who has continued to provide
stable leadership as Head of
State,² he says. ³The idea is to come together
and sing a
health unto Her Majesty!"
The Nelson service will
feature state prayers and royal music to
commemorate
those who turn 80 this year. There¹ll be a
birthday cake, courtesy of the
Nelson City Council, which
will be cut and shared during the service.
The
service will be led by Dean Charles Tyrrell, with the two
local mayors
present as well as other invited guests, and
will include music from the
Cathedral choir.
The
thanksgiving service is timed so people from other churches
can attend,
on Sunday 18th June at 3.00pm.
