Rev Matt Woodcock jumps for charity
Rev Matt Woodcock has completed his skydive from 15,000 feet! He completed the charity challenge in memory of his friend Susie Meakin-Clark, an inspirational member of our congregation who died two years ago.
Matt said: "The skydive was a terrifying but thrilling experience. Jumping out of that plane I've never prayed so hard in my life! I've been overwhelmed by people's generosity and words of encouragement. Susie dared me to jump before she died. I couldn't let her down." Matt was raising money for our development project and the Hull Council of Disabled People. Watch a video of Matt's skydive
