A TRULY HEART FELT 

THANK YOU…….

For each and every one of our very dear friends in the congregations and village communities of Alrewas, Fradley and Wychnor, for which I’ve had the enormous privilege and joy of serving as your Vicar (and hopefully friend too!) for the past 23+ years…..

Following my final public worship service on Alrewas’ Harvest Thanksgiving Celebration on Sunday 29th Sept, we as a family wanted to share our deepest, heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for the overwhelming number of cards you’ve sent to us (many of which have been personally designed and beautifully so!), and the incredibly thoughtful and generous gifts you’ve given to us - including beautiful hand-crafted gifts and paintings, super gift vouchers for movies and meals out, fantastic National Trust gift cards to enjoy membership with many new places to visit, and much, much more! Your love and appreciation has touched us very deeply indeed, and we hope these few words will somehow successfully communicate the incalculable value we place on your affection and friendship, which we very much wish to reciprocate.

As we now retire from full-time ministry following 40+ years of service, and begin a new chapter in South Derbyshire, we want to assure you of our continuing appreciation, love, friendship and prayers as we endeavour to ‘live our Dash’ to the full, and very much hope that, with God’s help and blessing , you will too!!

With our love and appreciation, from Vicar John and Sally, with Jenny, Katy & Vicky
