Ian writes: I am enormously grateful to the people of Holcombe and Hawkshaw for their kindness, love and faith in in the Lord Jesus which it has been a real joy to share in for these last two years. I am equally excited to be joining the family in the Ramsbottom and Edenfield Team Ministry for this next phase of curacy, as we have all shared in that same sense of the Lord preparing a way for us together. Please do pray for Layna and I in this next season; we're so looking forward to working together as part of our new mission community across RETM, Holcombe & Hawkshaw, and Tottington.Let us pray:
Lord thank you for today, and for new beginnings.
Help us a family, to walk with Ian with care and compassion, ready to offer a friendly hand in friendship.
We know that working in your name is not easy at times,
and we ask you to surround him with your loving arms,
guide him as he takes on this position within RETM
We ask this in your name
Amen
