After three very precious years at St John’s, our family’s last Sunday worshipping with you at St John’s Church, Sharow will be 31st May. My final event before moving on will be the Art & Spirituality Day Retreat on 3rd June.

Later in the year, I’m delighted that I will still be returning to lead Art & Spirituality on a quarterly basis, with the next gatherings on 16th September and 2nd December.

Wonderful Wednesdays will continue each week, apart from Art & Spirituality days, and I’m so glad of that. New members are joining us, and the faithful regulars continue to keep the heart of it all beating.

As I prepare for ordination and for beginning curacy at St Peter’s Church, Harrogate, I carry deep gratitude for all that these years at St John’s have meant to me and to our family.

Peace and blessings,
Juliet

On Thursday afternoon, a group of aspiring artists have been under the direction of the talented Lori Hanson (Oil Painter) 

Caroline was so inspired by Lori, the classes, Monet and her new gift of crying she travelled to Scotland. She writes 

"With fabulous patient teaching from Lori, a group of us turned a blank canvas into a Monet! 
This inspired me to visit the National Art Gallery of Scotland to look at more of Monet's paintings "
