If you are on the Electoral Roll, I will send you a list of all the members in the next couple of weeks, but we have said thank you and goodbye (for now!) to Graham Whittaker, Johnny Read and Rob Williams and hello to Chris Cookson, Paul Chalkey and Thea Cave. Paul has also become Church Warden and Thea is our Deanery Synod rep. Debbie and Sheila have also stepped down as wardens. Thank you to everyone who attended. This week, we are celebrating Bible Sunday, so the Bible readings link with that. If you are joining us at St Cleopas, please bring a Bible.
