Goodbye to Marion & Simon - 1st June 2025. Thank you for all your support and smiles and we wish you much love, best wishes and prayers for the next part of your life.

Marion's last service was a benefice service, and the church was full

the flowers in church & on the tables were 'jars of garden flowers' from our gardens

Marion had gifts for the HMR churches

and gifts for St John's - this was a clock for the vestry, but also a lovely bench for the outdoor space

the outdoor area, where we had the bbq, and spent the afternoon socialising
