It was a beautiful and emotional Service of Thanksgiving for the life of our Team Rector, Canon Peter Reiss, held on Friday 8 March at St. Anne’s Church, Turton, followed by fellowship over cake and a cuppa at St. James’s Church, Edgworth.
The service was a truly fitting tribute to an amazing minister … and a superb send off with wonderful words given so beautifully by ALL the family members.
The service was designed by Peter, with help from his family and from the Venerable Dr. John Applegate, Archdeacon Emeritus, who led the service.
Words for three of the four hymns in the service – chosen by Peter – were written by Peter himself and reflect his passion for justice, friendship and faith for all.

Nikki comments: “I thought I would share it; we got so much better after this very rough video was so successful! What a journey.”
