Twenty three years since the last collation and induction service at St John the Evangelist and on 25 September 2023 it was Jaimée's time to take up the benefice. Bishop Rosemarie led the service in which many assents, oaths and reaffirmations were made. However, while embedded in the past, the service pointed to a joyful future, centered on the Good Shepard, a parish led and served by our new priest.Welcome Jaimée!
The Harvest Lunch on 24 September was an enjoyable get together to celebrate God's bounty given to us, and by donation pass some of that on to Caterham Foodbank and Welcare.There were new faces, including the soon to be vicar, and some familiar faces. My face was fairly slack jawed as I'd returned from holiday in the wee small hours of the morning :)
