Ren and Steve’s Leaving Arrangements
Thank you all for your good wishes following the announcement of our leaving the Bexley Team. My ‘official’ last day, for diocesan and Cof E purposes is 31st August, but it has been agreed that as I have some leave owing, we will be moving out of the Vicarage on Wednesday 17th August. My last service at St Barnabas, Joydens Wood will be at 10.45 am on Sunday 7th August, and a ‘Bring & Share’ Lunch is being arranged. Everybody is welcome. Ren
