The Mayor said: “The council’s mission is ‘Helping People, Shaping Places’ so we share similar objectives in our community roles to that of the church and our partner organisations.
“This service is about the dedication of the Mayor and the council to serve the community in Melton Borough. I extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to join us for this special morning service.”
A retiring collection taken during the service will be divided between St Mary the Virgin’s Church and St John the Baptist Church at Muston.
