Today we say Goodbye and Godspeed to our Rector who is retiring today ...
"It would be lovely to see you all at my final service on 12 October – a service at 10am for everyone, regular church goers or not, those who came for services of baptisms, weddings and funerals, the school community, our neighbours, and all of Hooky. Please be there to celebrate with me, and to give Martin and I an opportunity to say, ‘goodbye and thank you’.

The Archbishop of York writes...
In memory of Pope Francis, I reflect on the final letter he sent to Christian leaders—received just a day before he died.

"We must walk together, work together, and pray together.”
