My dear friends, I do hope and pray this finds you well. I am absolutely delighted to let you know that I am returning to work on phased return with immediate effect. I can’t wait to catch up with you! I will be working 3 days a week until the end of October, 4 days in November then full time in December. See you soon!

I also want to express my enormous thanks to all those who have found themselves having to take on additional responsibilities during my absence. I would like to especially thank the following by name, though I am fully aware it is not an exhaustive list -my sincere apologies if I’ve inadvertently missed you out:

+ Revds Christine Gillespie, Phil Grayson, Roy Shaw, George Greenhough, Paul Finlinson and Jackie Jackman.

+ All those members of the Selby Deanery who have been a huge help, especially standing in at funerals and weddings.

+ Pat & Karl Jarvis, Shirley Croft, Rosemary Finlinson, John Boyer, Sheila Newsome, Carol and Roger Sowden, Pat and Vyv Griffiths, Jill and John Clarke and all PCC and ECC members.

I am so grateful! Thank you!

Revd. Pete
