A MINISTER has celebrated 20 years' service to Unitarianism with a champagne reception.

The Rev David Usher was joined in celebrating the milestone by members of the congregation at Nazareth Unitarian Chapel, Padiham.

Before arriving in Padiham in 2000, he had previously worked in his native Australia and the United States.

Mr Usher, 48, lives in Clitheroe with his wife Chasey and their three daughters.
