Uncle Peter.

Peter Fenwicks funeral will be at St. John's church Sheffield on the 12th May 2011 at 13:00. As Peter used to say - More the merrier :)

Edit 06/05/2011 Notice in The Sheffield Star

It's fitting. Where a young publicans son from The Manor Estate Sheffield encouraged a group of young people to get together for a youth group. Encouraged by his vicar, he and his friends met in a flat at Norfolk Park Sheffield, and Sheffield House Churches was born.

Peter might have been up front with his preaching, but he nudged, gently nagged and - gosh, you have no idea what he did on the QT. He encouraged and built other groups and churches, and took young (and not so young) people under his wing. He quietly, and in the background encouraged people to live strong and fulfilling lives.

In his churches, or not. That's the mark of a good leader.

He became quite famous. The guy was a preacher extriodinaré world wide. But if you talked to those who knew 'Uncle Peter' you'll find a bloke who was a simple family man. "Uff Dray. Cuppa?"
