Swansong! Advent Sunday was a day we will never forget. Thank you so much for the wonderful send off  - for joyful and moving services, the amazing lunch and the inspired  'service' and entertainments. Thank you for all the gifts and messages you have given to us and for your prayers and blessings.  Much love Philip, Charlotte, Dan and Millie'.    Did you hear about the vicar who was leaving the parish? He went round to say his goodbyes, but found his churchwarden very upset. ‘Now there’s no need to be so upset’ said the vicar. ‘You must be strong, and before very long, they’ll send someone better than me.’ ‘That’s all very well,’ said the churchwarden, ‘But that’s exactly what our last vicar said when he was leaving’. We will trust our God that for you and for us ‘the best is yet to be!’ In the end our final Sunday was a very joy-filled day, albeit with quite a few tears as well. I was very moved by the song sung by the children and young people of the St. Catherine’s Sunday School after the 9am service – words written for a Take That song. Then there were plenty more songs in the afternoon entertainments – as the ex wardens sang ruefully ‘Never let a vicar into your life’. The previous Sunday Charlotte had preached on Peter’s experience of getting out of the boat, and of how that had inspired us as we sought God’s way forward. May we all seek God’s way forward, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. Thank you for letting us share in your journey over these last 13 years. Yours in Christ, Rev. Philip Swan PS.
