Over the weekend I had the honour of opening, alongside Bishop Simon Burton-Jones, the Annexe building of St Peter's Hextable.
This project has been nearly 20 years in the making, and it was great to be able to join in the Thanksgiving service and hear from many of the people involved in the project over the years.
Although this celebration was the formal opening, the extra space and Next Door Hextable Café (which are operating within the Annex) have been in use for some weeks, and so many people I spoke to told me it was already making a difference to their lives.
Many generous individuals have played their part in this project over the years, but it would not have been possible with the drive and vision of the amazing Rev. Johnny Douglas. I know many people across Hextable are very grateful for his work.
