Retirement of Reverend Cynthia Hardiman
This month sees the retirement of Reverend Cynthia Hardiman, the minister of Histon Methodist Church. We would like to wish the very best for Rev Cynthia and her husband, Rev David, as they move to South Shields in retirement. Rev Cynthia has been a great witness for God and served our community well for the last five years and so will be much missed. Please keep them in your prayers and Rev Cynthia’s successor, Reverend Hilary Cheng, who will be taking up her position in September.

Council of Churches Ideas
There have been two ideas put forward to the Histon and Impington Council of Churches of activities we can do together.
Firstly, would there be a group of people from the churches interested in attending together an ordinary Sunday service at each of the other churches say 2-3 times a year in rotation, with a discussion meeting before and after?
Secondly, would anyone like to be part of a book group to read and discuss together books on topics concerning us as Christians?
If you would be interested in being involved, please speak to Captains.
