From Murray

Walking in Ecclesall Woods with our dog last Friday we met Andy Parsons with his dog.  Andy wanted to pass on his and Gill’s love to all at St Paul’s.  They have settled now at Greenhill Methodist Church and are getting involved.  It works out better for them as it is much nearer to where they live.

Andy seemed very well and delightedly pointed out some herons nesting in the trees which he said looked and sounded like Pterodactyls!

He is also pleased to be doing some evangelism with his church – always his great passion!  I think he is part of a team who will be coming over to work with Gleadless Valley Methodist Church.
