Brenda Dyble led the service explaining about the history of the British and Foreign Bible Society. I spoke for a few minutes on the theme of "My life through my Bibles".
- my first Testament Newydd (New Testament in Welsh) presented to me at my confirmation
- "The Way" – a Living Bible which my sister gave to me when I left home for University. I gave it straight back and then discovered later that she had hidden it in my suitcase!
- The Jeens Family Bible of which I became joint custodian on my marriage to Steve in 1980
- An assortment of Children's Bible Stories which I used at a Sunday School in East London and now at the Stay and Play Group in Halmer End
- My father's Bible which was presented to him on his safe return from the war by his chapel in Holyhead, which I am honoured to have following my father's death in January this year
Other members of the congregation brought along their Bibles and told their stories.
