Rev. Diane Smith is retiring, or as we Methodists say ‘sitting down’ and people from around Felixstowe and the Circuit have been saying their goodbyes.
Diane graciously took some time to Zoom with Rev. Joan Pell to talk about her retirement. The video was shown in the circuit service on 25th July and is reproduced here for all to watch.
Circuit Steward, Sue Hockenhull, made a beautiful quilted bag to remind Diane of her time with the Felixstowe Churches. Read what Sue said here.
Diane wrote a farewell letter to the Felixstowe churches. Read the letter here.
Diane’s last day was 31st July and folk from around the circuit enjoyed an Open Garden at the Trinity Manse.
