Thanks to everyone who came along to my final Eucharist yesterday @ChristChurchWD and @StChristopherWithington. It was lovely to be joined by friends from other parishes, neighbours and Hall users. A little card from one of our young folk pretty much sums up my ministry!

We had a full church this morninh to wish Rev Anne well in her retirement. It was emotional and full of love 😭🥰.

Alleluia, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
