A Special Farewell this Sunday
The Venerable Christopher and the Reverend Anne Futcher will be coming to Kyrenia this Sunday to take the service – and to say goodbye to their friends at St Andrew’s, before retiring to their home in South West England at the end of September.
Christopher and Anne came to Cyprus in 2019 as Parish Priest and Associate Priest at St Helena’s in Larnaca. Both of them have made a huge impact in the Diocese as a whole and Cyprus in particular.
Christopher is Archdeacon in Cyprus and Diocesan Director of Ministry, as well as Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. Anne is Diocesan Social Concern Officer.
Frequent visitors to our church over the years, Anne and Christopher will be greatly missed by all of us at St Andrew’s. We wish them all the very best in their retirement.
St Andrew’s Magazine – Final Edition. Summer 2024
‘ I have enjoyed what I have done, it has been a privilege to work for you and I thank you for your support and encouragement. I used to say to friends, when it was coming to that time in the month when I needed to concentrate on completing the mag, that I was going into “purdah” for the next few days! Now I will have the chance to extend my after-lunch nap!’ ….
So says Anne towards the end of this, her final edition, of St Andrew’s magazine.
Do read her account on page 38 of her experience of putting together over 160 editions of this fabulous magazine over the last 16 years.
What a phenomenal achievement!
Anne has done a really excellent job, producing a first class magazine, which is always such a pleasure to read. We will very much miss the informative and insightful articles Anne has included in her magazine.
Huge thanks to Anne for all the hard work, time, thoughtfulness and skill she has put into the magazine over the years.
Thank you, Anne.
