Congratulations to our former Vicar, Jim Dearden, on his 90th birthday.

Jim was the Vicar at Holy Trinity when I moved to Huddersfield in 1978 until the day he retired. When he became Vicar, three years previous to this, he took over a church the diocese were looking to close. He left a vibrant growing church with well over a hundred regular worshippers.

After retirement he spent a number of years part time as chaplain of the local hospice.

Whenever I meet Jim I have the feeling that I am in the company of a nam of God. Jim, you're a saint.
