Peak Parishes say farewell
to vicar John Harris Tread softly as you leave, for the hills , the streams of Peak Parishes weep. Your tread has been a gentle ministry of complete, complete. All can celebrate new upgraded buildings, toilets and kitchens, and as you hold your grand- -daughter in your arms, remember sometimes the sermons you spoke, spawning new insights of God’s word, we heard from your lips new truths that had been hidden from our lives. And oh, some tragedy. The Mill explosion, as you arrived in 2015 and the loss of lives. Your compassionate ministry over eight years, is testimony to your call. We have needed you and all the sorrows you went through, have come out as gold. Yes complete, we are now more whole. And when at times you hear church bells, may you be transported back to these fells. The Bosley 6 and the Sutton 8 and of the fetes, fell runs and events, tombola and Rose Queens, ice creams and always coffee and cakes. Transported too when you listen to children’s voices, of the schools you oversaw, and of your wider ministry as Rural Dean in the town. Time to turn the page and say, Adieu and Thank you. |

NEWS FROM BOSLEY
Bosley was blessed to receive a visit from The National Guild of Police Ringers on Sunday 11th June. Bill Dowse had been president of the Guild many years ago and so they came to Bosley Church to ring the church bells in fitting memory of Bill, who sadly passed away exactly 2 years ago.
The ladies of the church, including Bill's widow, Joan, prepared some light refreshments for the travelling ringers to enjoy after their Peal.
A Peal is rung on a set of church bells for a minimum of 5040 call changes, often where no two ringing patterns are repeated and is quite a feat for both the caller and the team. It usually lasts about 2.5 hours without a break!
In the sweltering heat on the 11th, Richard White, their conductor managed to ring 7 methods (Winchendon Place, St Nicholas, Reverse Canterbury, St Simons, St Martins, Plain Bob and Grandsire) for the Peal, which lasted 2 hours and 50 minutes.
Many thanks to the visiting team who’d come from Oxford & beyond.
