Thank you

Thank you to all who helped in any way to make our last weekend at St Mary’s so memorable. It was great to be together both socially on Friday night and then as we worshipped on Sunday. The cards and good wishes have been much appreciated, as has the generous leaving gift which we shall make sure is put to good use in ways that will help us remember all that we have shared at Whitkirk over the years.

With thanksgiving and love, Matthew and Victoria
