David Harris to retire
Having reached 65 last summer, David has announced his intention to stand down as Rector. After twelve very happy years, he feels that the time has come to make way for a younger incumbent.
David is keen to continue in Christian ministry, and has therefore accepted an invitation to be part-time (“house-for-duty”) Vicar of Ilsington, a village near Bovey Tracey, between Exeter and Plymouth. He and Susan expect to move at the end of March. There will be an oppurtunity to say a formal farewell to David & Susan on Saturday March 17th at 5.30pm
