The Cloud Moves On
1979
The church buzzed with excitement and rumours flew from
house to house. We really were going to expand the community
outside Northamptonshire. This was new. Who would go?
And how would they cope being away from the centre of
things?
Actually, it was Sheepfold Grange that was losing some of
its key people. Pete and Carol, as well as a new young leader,
Mick ‘Temperate’, were bracing themselves for the unknown.
There was a great farewell at the house with an abundance of
gifts, people and tears. That night Pete Matt couldn’t sleep
and Mick was up early to pray.
The winter dawn was breaking over the hills as he stepped
into the garden. Mick would miss that view across the valley.
Sheepfold had renewed him. It had been a wonderful experience,
but now they were moving on.
