The Rev'd Keith's will preside and preach at his last service before his 70th birthday and his licence as Assistant Priest in the Coltishall Group of Parishes comes to an end. It will not be so much as saying goodbye, as marking a mile stone in his life and the life of the church. All his ministry until now has been voluntary and unpaid and in retirement nothing changes . In future, Keith will continue to support the parishes in the Coltishall Group of Parishes acting under a Permission to Officiate licence like our other retired priests, but will be reducing the amount of time he gives to the ministry.
Today we suspend services elsewhere in the Coltishall Group joining together to mark the occasion, celebrate Keith's ministry over the years, to thank him for all he has given and to ask God's blessing on him in the years to come.
