Framed photo returned to Centre
Today Rev. Frank Naylor‘s son visited us to return the framed photograph of the Centre that was presented to Frank when he retired in 2006.
Rev. Frank passed away last year at the age of 86.
Rev. Frank Naylor has died
Rev. Hannah Lewis has been in contact to inform us of the sad news Rev. Frank Naylor has passed away. He was chaplain at St Helens Deaf Centre and later for the whole of Liverpool diocese (including Southport) for over 25 years.
Frank was also made a Canon of Liverpool Cathedral in recognition of his service, and after retirement in 2006 had a ministry there for some years.
No funeral details are available at the moment.
Rev. Hannah resigns from Management Committee
Sadly, Rev. Hannah Lewis has had to leave her job as priest within the Deaf community.
This means she will no longer be running church services at our Centre. It also means that Hannah has resigned from the Management Committee.
Hannah’s statement about the change to her circumstances can be read opposite.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hannah for her support to our community and for the advice she has given over the years.
Tuesday Club restarts after 18 month shutdown
16 members attended the Tuesday Club today. It was good to see everyone face to face after so long.
It is Barry Miller‘s special birthday on Thursday, so a card and voucher was presented to him from us all.
A donation of £40 was given by Mike Goodfellow for Management Committee funds. Thank you, Mike.
Rev. Hannah Lewis came to tell us about changes with her job within the Deaf Church, and what it means for us at the Centre. Further details explaining about this will be added here soon.
