On Sunday 15 February we celebrated Margaret Gillespie’s retirement from 30 years of Reader Ministry, reflecting on how Jesus’ transfiguration (the reading for the day) at the top of the mountain was an opportunity to look back over the highs and lows of her ministry. Giving thanks to God for how he had worked through Margaret serving our Benefice and to pray for Margaret as she enjoys worshiping with us ‘from the pews’.
During the service we prayed for Margaret, gave her gifts including flowers and a card, and celebrated after the service with coffee and cake.
Thank you Margaret for all your years of dedication to St Anne’s Church.
