Notes from the Churchwardens
Remembering to bring the missing vestry key, we were all delighted to see Pastor Jan Petersen during his fleeting visit to the village in mid May. Many of his friends, young and old, were able to join us for the Bring and Share Lunch and to hear from him news of his first year in Ockholm: the excitement of the arrival of Finja, a sister for Malte, and the "delights" he and Gabi have experienced in moving house no less than three times in one year.
To those he missed seeing during his visit, he sends his warm greetings. Jan wishes us all God speed under the guidance of our new vicar, Rev David Lewis, who takes up his position on June 10th with his formal licensing at Bottisham. We look forward to seeing him regularly in Swaffham Prior thereafter.
Finally we want to place on record our sincere thanks to John Norris, the retiring churchwarden, for all his hard work in maintaining the services through the interregnum and in his care of St Mary's church over so many years. We are truly grateful to him.
