The Church is full of people in the Autumn of their years. Some have led colourful lives leaves bronzed and golden through exposure to the elements their appearance the centre of attention. Others have been exposed to more extreme conditions branches bowed and scarred. Some go unnoticed, yet stand tall and steadfast against wind and rain. All have a story to tell all can offer support and shelter for saplings which grow beneath their leafy canopy. John Birch
