We would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Ian Cripps, a longstanding member of our EQUIP programme, following his death a couple of weeks ago.

Ian was diagnosed with cancer more than four years back, at which point he was given six months to live. Many people prayed for Ian, and he was able to enjoy many more months of active life than expected – partly expressing his love for his family, partly pursuing his passion for golf, but also coming with us on various parish missions, including his last one to Slough.  Ian was an enthusiastic and tireless evangelist, and he was always very fruitful on these missions and an example to everyone. It was a particular joy a couple of months ago to listen to Ian sharing his faith on the Nicky Campbell programme.

Ian and Sue have asked Roger to take Ian’s funeral, which will be held in Uppingham Parish Church on Tuesday 5th March at 12.30 pm. All who knew and loved Ian are welcome. Please visit Ian’s tribute page here.
