Rector’s Address at 2018 Easter General Vestry
Address given at the 2018 General Vestry on 11th April
The annual Easter General Vestry Meeting is a good opportunity for me, as your Rector, to say a few words of reflection on the past year’s activities and to thank the many people who work together to make this parish what it is – a vibrant, lively, welcoming and inclusive place to worship God and to serve his people in his name.
