Our mission is: to show God’s love for His people, and nurture His people’s love for God

The Revd Richard Amys passes on a big thank you to everyone who came to his final service at the end of May, and for the generous leaving gifts, supportive messages and cards. Richard and Angela’s move to Quedgeley went smoothly and have settled in very quickly.

Church life continues on and we are fortunate to have a committed and dedicated congregation to maintain the worship and fabric our church. We had over 40 people come along to our successful RSCM Music Sunday and Bring and Share picnic in June, and are putting on a similar event on to celebrate Harvest at the end of September. There are also numerous fund-raising events in September, October and November including a Christmas Tree Festival over the last weekend in November (more details in next edition of ECN).

The final service of our departing Rector Richard Amys took place on 31st May at Haresfield Church followed by lunch at Standish Village Hall. Support from the six churches in our benefice ensured a full house and gave us the opportunity of thanking Richard for his ministry over the past fifteen years or so and also to wish him and his wife Angela every future happiness following Richard’s retirement.
