<p class="MsoNormal">During the epidemic the Chapel at Kerley Downs has
been closed for over eighteen months in accordance with most other places of
worship. We are pleased to announce however that on<b> Friday the 4th
June at 7.30pm </b>we are hosting a Special Service at the chapel which will be
conducted by the Revd Richard Teal <b>President of the Methodist Conference
(2021) </b>to which we understand he is very much looking forward and to which
you are all very welcome. However prevailing Covid restrictions will have
to be adhered to so if you wish to attend please get there in good time.
The Service will include the <b>presentation of a 'Tea Pot'' to the Trust</b>
which belonged to a Mrs Harvey of Penzance and from which she served Billy Bray
on his visits to her house. It has been in the Harvey family ever since
and they now kindly wish it to be presented to the chapel.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
