It has been a real privilege to be part of the Friends and Neighbours group here at KMFC for the past 19½ years. I was invited, as the wife of the new Pastor, back in 1995, to be the President of this group, and it’s been great fun. Ann, our secretary, works efficiently to organise everything – and the rest of the committee do their fair share too, so the group runs well, and truly lives up to its name. We have new members joining each session, but keep in touch with older folk who no longer feel able to come out in the evenings. And our programme is varied and interesting. But last night was my final evening. Ann had made a point of checking I would be there – but I was bowled over by everyone’s kindness.
A card, a cake, a book, a gift token, AND flowers!
I want to thank them for all their love and support - for being true friends, and good neighbours - I shall miss these people so much!
You know, I think the best ideas for church groups are the simplest ones. A group to promote friendship and mutual support - it can't get any better really. Hope you are doing ok with all these good-byes
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Martha!x
DeleteEnjoy the thanks. And I'm sure they will be praying for you both as you enter this new stage in your ministry.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will miss you too, Angela.

Surprisingly not - Liz came home this afternoon to help us pack and that has been a real help. VERY tired though.
DeleteHow thoughtful, and you look fabulous in that photograph!
ReplyDeleteWhilst sorting things in the attic I have found some things which match the last thing I sent. If I post them on Monday would they arrive before you move? They'll take a couple of days.
Thank you So much - we leave here on Monday 26th x
DeleteBecause you're worth it- and my, but you look most supermodellish!
