PENNY WRITES
Thank You everyone for being the most amazing parish ever! We have so enjoyed our journey with you and take with us many happy memories of precious times that we have shared. In the nine and a half years since Jonathan first came to the parish part-time, our daughters have grown from children to young women, and we have grown to love our adopted country of Australia.
We cannot thank you enough for your love, your affirmation, your care and your faithfulness. I wish to give particular thanks for those who have been church wardens, members of Parish Council and volunteers in the Parish office and Ministry Centre during my time as Rector—your enthusiasm and vision have been exceptional, and it gives me great hope that the Parish remains in such capable hands. I want to thank all of you who serve in a myriad different less visible ways, ensuring that the worship and service of the parish continue effectively—thank you one and all.
Thank you also to my clergy colleagues, especially Peter, Max and Neville whose support has been exceptional.
As the winding of the road takes Jonathan and I to Toowoomba we know that we will always have friends in Woy Woy . We hope that you now have friends in Toowoomba! Angel travels with us—at 91 in dog years she is getting a little creaky, but sends her thanks too to all those who have loved and looked after her during her ministry in the Parish Centre.
As we do not yet have full contact details please be assured that you can contact us through the Parish Office of St. Luke’s Toowoomba, and we hope that some of you will visit—but if you all come for next year’s Carnival of Flowers it could be a bit squashy!
