However now is the right time fo me to hand over the keyboard and mouse to Emmanuel.
Thank you all for your infomation, posters and pictures sent to me over the years I hope you will continue this on
so St.Martins website can still be a great website for Desford village.

‘Eco-Communities’
Leicester Diocese we are holding an Eco Church Conversations Day on Saturday September 14 at Holy Trinity Church in Leicester. It’s open to anyone, of any age, from any church.
This is a great opportunity to be inspired about your church's Eco Church journey. Whether you are just starting to think about how to work with the Eco Church award, or wondering how to achieve your next award, this is a chance to listen to inspiring speakers and be renewed in vision. There will be activities for children as well as the grown-ups.
A voluntary donation of £5 per person is suggested (to cover contributors’ expenses). To book, please follow this link: Leicestershire Eco Church Conversations Tickets, Sat, Sep 14, 2024 at 10:00 AM | Eventbrite
