Everyone at All Saints has been very saddened by the news of Bishop Andrew's death on Tuesday 3rd March.
The official announcment made by Bishop Paul can be read in this Diocesan Parish Brief and includes a personal video from Bishop Paul.
There is a prayer station at All Saints and someone will be there between 5pm and 6pm on Wednesday 4th, Thursday 5th and Friday 6th for listening and prayer. Do come along any time.
We all hold our dear Beverly and her family in our prayers and you might like to use this prayer from Bishop Paul:
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for Andrew,
our brother and bishop:
for his faith and faithfulness to you
in life and in leadership.
As we mourn his death
and commend him to your everlasting arms,
give us the same faith, hope and love,
rooted in the death and resurrection of your son, Jesus.
We pray especially for Beverly,
Hannah, Sam, Joe, Lydia and the whole family.
Comfort them with your Holy Spirit and protect them in their grief.
And bring us, at the last, with Andrew and all your children,
to that eternal joy where you live and reign in glory forever,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
