Farewell to Phil & Ruth
Saturday July 23rd 2011
 After nine years as our minister at Llanishen we gathered to say "Thank you" to the Rev Phil Drake; and to wish Phil and his family well as they move to Shipley in the Bradford North Circuit in West Yorkshire.

During the evening a slide show entitled "Caught on Camera" featured Phil's involvement in many aspects of the Church's life over the last 9 years. Starting with the Drake family presence at the Church Family Weekend in 2002 the photographs reminded us of the renovation of the hall, establishing the Quite Garden, BBQs, Fayres for Christmas and Summer, a Sabbatical and an Austrailian Exchange, services with toys and Christingles, baptisms and weddings.

"Voices from the Congregation" included recordings of a cross section of the congregation sharing their appreciation of all that Phil has done for, and with, us during his time in Cardiff.
