“HAPPY NEW YEAR”
A Message from Rev. Allie Kerr, Vicar of our Parish.
That’s my hope & prayer for all of us, that 2021 will be a happy year. After the sadness and worry of 2020 I pray that this year will be much brighter.
We have the hope of a wider roll out of the vaccination programme, we have the hope that we’ll be able to hug our loved ones again, we have the hope that we’ll be able to return fully to church with singing and refreshments and all the community feel we are used to, and most of all we have hope that whatever we face God will be with us. I am so grateful for your support, adaptability and encouragement over the last year.
With my love and prayers for you all. Allie x
