I write to say a big thank you and goodbye to Village News readers – I will be off to pastures new in Suffolk in April. I will have loved been your Rector for a little short of 7 years and am moving to be much closer to my family. You will still have Rev Jim, and also Michele in our Benefice Office keeping things going for the 4 parishes, and of course your fantastic church wardens at West Monkton will ensure that worship and other services and events continue. The Parishes will enter a period of praying and thinking about your next Rector and a parish profile and advertisement created soon after I leave. Do contact one of the team if you have questions. I continue to pray for you and hope you will pray for your parish church in this time of transition. God bless you,
