Mustard Seed closes. Thanksgiving service held Posted: Tuesday, 30 September 2008 A service of Thanksgiving was held at St Mary's Church on Tuesday (30th September) as the Mustard Seed closed its doors for the last time, after eight and a half years of Christian presence in the town. It was with a mixture of real sadness and yet a profound sense of gratitude that many past customers, volunteers, staff & trustees gathered to remember all the hard work that went into making the Mustard Seed a blessing for the community for so many years despite changing market conditions. The service was attended by the Rev Peter Cotton, Dean of Hemel Hempstead, who opened proceedings with warm recollections of the Christian bookshop as his literal neighbour in the town. Although the Mustard Seed will be missed, Andrew Liversidge, one of the former trustees, gave a hope-filled encouragement as he shared that as one seed falls to the ground so new life springs up in new ways.
