The Revd Alison Morris, Interim Minister at St Michael's, said; "Members of the magazine committee are shocked and amazed but highly delighted. They feel that it is a real achievement particularly as this is their first entry into this prestigious competition

"We never thought that we would actually get this award…how good is that?! The small magazine group have worked tremendously hard so credit to them all."

The church is very appreciative of the generous time and expertise donated by Bluflame Design of Lichfield.

"Vicki Maye, Director of Bluflame, who is also a member of our church community, ensures the magazine design is engaging and attractive," said Alison. "Together with her Senior Designer Geoff Taylor, who we are indebted to, they always guarantee a first rate product. Quite simply it means that our Christian message has impact across and within our Pelsall community. From start to finish St Michael’s has an ace team!"
