The skies lit up from firework displays but more lasting beauty than these have been the gorgeous blue sky, fluffy clouds and sunshine.

We take our part in declaring the glory of God as we sing two songs. The first ' All heaven declares ' is based on these verses from Psalm 19 and the second ' For the beauty of the earth ' takes us into oth...
