A Farewell Message from John & Sue Risdon
10 St Margarets Road
Gloucester GL3 3BP
GREETINGS to all who are connected with our Parish in Bedhampton! We send
our warmest thanks to everyone involved in any part of our church life
and to all those involved in the shared activities between church and community
such as the Summer Show.
We were thrilled to have the whole church family together in St Thomas’s
with standing room only on our last Sunday. The Thanksgiving and Farewell
sermon on the Future Faithfulness of God is on CD and can be borrowed from
the Parish Office.
As we move into our retirement we have been very touched by your many greetings
and shared memories which speak of God’s faithfulness to us all and
His plans for a future full of hope. As the hymn puts it:
We’ll praise Him for all that is past,
And trust Him for all that’s to come.
A special thank-you for the generous and imaginative gifts handed to us
at the splendid Parish Lunch. We were especially thrilled by the brilliant
choice of a Steam Dreams Christmas excursion with Carols to Salisbury in
December. Thank you all!
With our love and continuing prayers,
John and Sue
