It’s never easy to say farewell to a church member, especially one who has been part of our church family for many years. But Ralph Fletcher is moving to the East coast shortly, and so this was his final Sunday service with us. We were pleased to give him gifts and to pray with him, expressing our appreciation and thanks for his faithful ministry over many years and asking God’s blessing on him as he moves out of our area.

His Bible teaching and faithfulness in prayer have been examples to us and we will miss him greatly, though we were relieved to hear he would welcome visitors if we are ever in the Bridlington area!
