<b>From Julia Chamberlin, Diocesan Children's Adviser</b><br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Dear Clergy, Children's teams, Lay Leaders, PCC Members<br>
<br>
<u><b>Children's Event before Bishop Stephen Installation Service on
Saturday 5th March at 11am</b></u><br>
<br>
Children from our schools and parishes are warmly invited to share
in a special event with Bishop Stephen to be held on <b>Saturday
5th March, at St Mary’s Church, Ely beginning promptly at 11am</b>,
immediately before the Bishop’s installation in the Cathedral. <br>
<br>
We would like as many children as possible, with accompanying
adults, to help him prepare for this important ceremony through
interactive prayer and worship, presentation of his special
vestments and by processing him to the Cathedral - where we will
celebrate with a balloon release! <br>
<br>
Accompanying adults will need to be responsible for the children
they bring, particularly during the short procession, and will need
to arrive at St Mary’s Church by 10.45am. <br>
<br>
There will also be specially baked biscuits and refreshments for
everyone in St Mary’s church hall after the balloon release at
midday. <br>
<br>
Please note that there will be official photographs taken at this
event for use by the Diocese of Ely in future publicity. <br>
