I’m writing this on Monday evening after a group of 8 of us from Trimley and Walton went to the funeral of the Reverend Christopher Leffler in Godmanchester. He and Jane had moved there 3 years ago to be closer to their family. If you knew Christopher, you won’t be surprised to learn that he had prepared exactly what he wanted in his funeral service, and it reflected so much of what we remember him for – a love of music of all types, hymns old and new, liturgy, poetry, humour and, above all, family. The eulogy, given by one of his sons, was a masterpiece of description of a full life, full of dedication, humour, numerous skills, eccentricities and knowledge. The service was led by old friend Rev’d Rod Corke, who served his curacy at Trimley under Christopher, and the sermon was preached by our dear Rev’d Charlotte Cook. Both of them had benefitted from Christopher’s wisdom and advice during their curacies – though many years apart!

Charlotte preached on the Bible reading, Psalm 139. Do look it up and remind yourself of what it says. She focussed on 2 aspects of it – that God has known us from the very beginning of our being, and that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”. She reflected that these 2 things are what gave Christopher’s ministry its meaning and momentum – that God knew him, knew all about him and always had done, and that God knew and loved his uniqueness. She also reflected that this is true for each one of us. God has made us all quite unique – there is no-one else exactly like you. God knows us through and through, and loves us “warts and all”! Each one of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by God who desires a loving relationship with us. This was Christopher’s goal – to serve the God who had made him, and to share his love for God with other people. Isn’t this what each of us should be aiming for?

Love, Margaret

So why not take some time to pop over to Trimley St Martin’s Churchyard and enjoy a period of reflection and meditation.

We are pleased that the scaffolding has gone up to facilitate the roof repairs that were highlighted as needed in our last inspection.
