Rev John Russell
In another departure announcement, Rev John Russell is retiring, and this Sunday 1 June will be John’s last service at St John the Baptist, Great Gaddesden. John and Karen moved into Great Gaddesden Vicarage in August 2010, and so they depart after almost 15 years in the village. They are moving to Edlesborough, and John will continue to look after the chaplaincy and the majority of the wedding blessings in Ashridge House. All are welcome to the 11am service at Great Gaddesden to give thanks and wish them well. Our love and prayers go with John and Karen.
“People have had the courage to work with me, to learn to trust me and I to listen to the wisdom that surrounds me. I have been fortunate enough to be with many of you at the most crucial times of your lives, at birth, marriage and at death, it is a wonderful privilege.”
