Last weekend was
his final weekend with us.
We celebrated
his work in Oadby in a service of Thanksgiving and Farewell on Saturday evening
which was followed by a buffet meal in the parish centre. Many, who had worked
with Michael, brought messages of appreciation that one or other of these
events. Several previous clergy came back to the parish.
On the Sunday,
both churches combined together at St Peter’s for the Family Communion Service,
which was a joyous time. At the end of the service Michael was presented with a
leather bound large print Bible, a book of messages and photos and a cheque.
Both churches
wish Michael well in his new sphere of ministry. It will be interesting to hear
how Geneva compares with Oadby!
