Farewell service to Rev Will Fletcher and Rev Paul Tabraham - 12th July 2026

Haywards Heath Methodist Church was packed to the rafters yesterday to bid a very fond farewell to 2 of the CSUA Ministers who are moving to become Superintendents in September.  Rev Will Fletcher has been the minister at Burgess Hill Methodist, Haywards Heath Methodist and, until it's closure in December 2023, Hurstpierpoint Methodist Churches for 7 years.  Rev Paul Tabraham has been a minister at Emmanuel Church in Eastbourne for 12 years having overseen the closure of 4 churches to come together as the newly built Emmanuel Church in September 2025.  

The service was written by Paul and Will who managed to ensure every minister within the Area and our URC Co-Leader had a part to play.  The CSUA wishes Paul, Will and their families every good wish in their new homes, churches and Circuits/Areas.  Their new colleagues are very lucky to have them and we will miss them!
