THE CHELASHAWS' FINALSUNDAY...

It is hard to believe that Kip and Rachel and the family's time with us is drawing to a close. They have all been such a great blessing and encouragement to all of us in so many ways, and will always be remembered with love and appreciation. We will, of course, continue to maintain an active connection with them as we support them in their new work in Nairobi, Kenya.

Their final officialSundaywith us will beSunday July 30th. There will be aJoint Benefice Service at9.30am.(This will also be our Holiday Club Service). Kip will be speaking. There will then be extra refreshments afterwards and a time for us to show our appreciation to them all during that time.

You may well, however, see them around for a few weeks in August as though they will have finished official duties with usthey will not finally depart for Kenya until the end of that month but will be using that time to get fully ready for their new venture.

We continue to pray for God's blessing on them all! David
