Update from the Wardens

21 November 2025

Dear Church family,

It is with sadness that we inform you that we have received Deo’s resignation as our Vicar.

This will take effect on the 18th January 2026.  The 18th January is a Sunday, and will be Deo and the family’s last Sunday with us. This will be a combined service with a shared luncheon after, to farewell Deo, Guan, and the children.

We have approved a shortened notice period due to the time of the year, for Angela and Nathan to be settled before the new school year starts.

Please pray for Deo, Guan, and the children as they prepare for a new and exciting ministry.

We are working closely with Rev. Simon Martin to ensure a smooth transitional period for our Parish.
