“If you could pass on my very best wishes to all Newcastle Unitarians for a very peaceful, loving and joyful Christmas, and a healthy and contented New Year. We don’t know, and can’t predict, just what 2022 will bring to us all, but, for you, I hope that the sale of your premises will conclude swiftly and satisfactorily, and that your excellent plans for the future of the congregation will go forward, to the advantage of all concerned.

You are more than ready to move forward, and I wish you every success. It has been my pleasure to lead worship for you, during the past year, both in person and by Zoom, and I am looking forward to my next service with you, in April, next year. In the meantime, I send you love and best wishes from me and Roger!”
