THANK YOU FROM REV. TORY

Thank you to all who shared in breaking bread together last Sunday (29 May),

and to those who sent lovely messages who were not able to attend the great farewell.

I thank the whole parish for allowing me to journey with you during the interim period. 

May God continue to bless you as you continue on  the Way,

renewed and seeking to grow ever deeper into God's love,

growing closer as community and  stronger in sharing that love in the world.

Rev. Tory
