On Sunday 11 September the Church was packed to say goodbye to Revd. Malc Allen who has served our community as Rector of St Michael's Church for 13 years. He will be greatly missed but we look forward to hearing about all his new adventure to come.

Here are some of his words of thanks:

'My last service and garden party afterwards was a wonderful day full of joy and sadness. I was blown away by a full church and the love you showed me. It's been a privilege to be a part of your lives, and you have blessed mine.

Thank you so much for all your cards and encouraging messages and prayers. And a huge thank you too for the amazing gift from you all. You are so generous!! I'm sure I'll see lots of  you somewhere at some point. And you'll remain in my prayers.'
