Jill and Richard announce retirement
On Sunday January 8th, Jill. and Richard Sharpe announced that they will be retiring to Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire from July 31st, 2012. They arrived in Desford and Peckleton in 1997 from their previous parish at Dosthill, Tamworth.
Kirkbymoorside is in Ryedale, a pretty area between the Howardian Hills to the south and the North Yorkshire Moors to the north. They will wait to see what opportunities for ministry emerge, but have already expressed an interest in voluntary work at the Ryedale Folk Museum, the Helmsley Walled Garden Project and Nunnington Hall National Trust, all of which are six miles or less from their front door.
Jill. grew up in the East Riding (now better known as David Hockney Land) and they will be able to see more of their Yorkshire friends as well as periodic visits to Leicestershire to see friends and visits to London to see their son.
We give thanks for the faithful ministry of Jill & Richard and we are planning a farewell lunch later when we hope as many as possible will come to wish them well.
