Wow: What a year.

Since June it just reflects how our lives have been...reflected in our newsletter style. Snakes and Ladders.

The summer was a great time of rest in wales camping with friends and enjoyng Green belt festival. Gina getting ordained and stating ministry at St Stephen's.

Then Gina;s mum took a turn for the worst and sadly passed away. The funeral was very moving with Gina taking some of the service. Then in November Gina's Dad, John had a major stoke. A very hard time, and many more trips to london. He has recovered miracuously well, just needing time to recapture his great memory. In all of this, Dolly John's wife's mum passed away and yet another funeral down south.

St Bart's church and St Stephens church are working together to see if they can joing together and become 1 area.

Trying to continue ministry in this time has been hard but has happened.
