Welcome, Bishop Sean and Jenny!

A poignant presentation in church today, as John and Jenny prepare to leave their home in Yeşiltepe and return to live in Cheltenham.

John spoke very movingly of their lives in Cyprus and the memories they will take with them. 

We all thank John and Jenny for their many years of dedicated service to St Andrew’s and for everything they have brought to our church community. 

‘ Be present, Spirit of the Lord,
let sounds of earth be dumb;
the Father’s love be shed abroad,
the dew of blessing on us poured:
O silent Spirit, come! ‘

The first of four Bible Study Group sessions on Genesis was well attended this morning.

If you were unable to join us, but would like to come along for any of the remaining 3 sessions, you are most welcome.

We meet at The Hermitage. Morning prayer is in the chapel at 10, for those who wish. The main session is in the house at 10.30. Coffee and chat afterwards !
