A SPECIAL Festival Eucharist was held at All Saints, Highfield.

The service marked more than a hundred years of fruitful ministry and included the sharing of stories of some of the 'saints' who have belonged over the years.

Many previous members returned for the occasion – along with friends, neighbours and representatives of other churches in Keighley.

Bishop Paul Slater, who had started his ministry as a curate in Keighley and then become Archdeacon of Craven, preached about the blessings of God.

Members of the congregation commented on what a beautiful service it had been and their hopes that all who attended were blessed by the occasion.

There was also a display of photos and other items from the archives, which showed the fascinating history of church life over the years.

Many thanks to all who contributed to making it a special day.

The Rev Canon Mike Cansdale, rector of Keighley
