We can’t wait to move to Doncaster and start getting to know you all. I suppose it’s always an unsettling time when a new minister arrives at a church. I imagine we’ll all have questions and ideas, and worries and hopes. Let me reassure you that I’m very keen to listen. I want to find out all about St Mary’s and what’s important to you all. What matters to you matters to me. We feel excited and privileged about beginning a new chapter in the life of St Mary’s with you. Let’s pray it’s a joyful and fruitful one as we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for us as we prepare to move and finish our ministry here in Cambridge. We’ll look forward to seeing you soon! With lots of love in Christ, Andy Thomas Notices Today If you would like to stay in touch, at the back of church here is a contact form.
