Sleaford Mayor’s Civic Service first time for 40 years at Riverside
Usually held towards the end of his term of office, the last time it was held in the church was during the tenure of the late Alan Smith.
It was led by Rev Robert Bushby - a first for him too, with Bible readings by Grace Coker from the Girls Brigade and Dave Jeale, chairman of the Sleaford Evergreen befriending service, which also received the offering collection of £345.95.
