Rev Ian has been unwell for several months now, so we pray that his retirement will give him time and space to fully recover.  He has been an enthusiastic and forward looking vicar for our Benefice (All Saints, South Wingfield and St Mary's, Crich) and we will miss him hugely in our community.

We pray for his family also.  May God bless and protect Rev Ian, Christine and Amy as they prepare to leave the Vicarage and move to their retirement location.  There is no retirement for any of us who love our Lord and Saviour, so we are confident that God has a plan for Rev Ian to continue serving the King of kings in the days ahead for him and his family.
