What a sad autumn this has been - we lost amongst others, Tony Service, Brenda Nicholson (a warm, bright, vivacious, bubbly and warm hearted member of our church family...) and Revd. Rodger Place. Despite this sadness, as Revd. Christine Gilespie writes in a timely fashion, we must take comfort and support from God’s love that will never fail us.

There is an article on Revd. Rodger Place, and I have included Revd. Pete’s Reflection that was spoken at Rodger’s funeral.
There are also items on the embroidery exhibition at Selby Abbey, and the opening of St Wilfrid’s for people to experience the building as a source of inspiration.

Jane Graham reports on the Stage Reading of the play Country Dances that Martin Pearson organised recently.
Keith Fossey, of the Swaziland Schools Project thanks us for helping the charity improve the lives of young people in Eswatini.
Finally I am delighted to share photographs of Revd. Rob Suekarran’s final service before moving to Hull, and also of Monica Oddy’s 90th birthday celebration in St Francis.
