Thank You

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the

clergy, lay readers and congregation of Christ Church

for their prayers, support and words of condolence

during what has been the worst time of my life. With

the love and encouragement given to me and with

God’s constant presence I realise I must carry on

with life as Mavis would wish me to do. Again,

Thank You everyone. May I wish you all a blessed

Christmas. Bryan Palser
