I thought you might like to read this wonderful poem by one of our parishioners:<\/p>\n

Autumn\"cobweb-josef-stuefer\"<\/h2>\n

\nAnd unseen cobwebs stretch,
\nAutumn\u2019s already here;
\nWhile on the silver birch
\nThe catkins\u2019 shrivelled rust

\nI crumble one to dust
\nTo hold the winter back
\nAwhile; although I know
\nFor each grey hair you pluck
\nA hundred white ones grow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
