From Murray

As I write this we have just had a visit from the Ecclesall clergy chapter. This is the group of local Church of England clergy which I am part of.   We began with a short Communion Service which I led in the Chancel and then met for lunch in the Meeting Place which flowed into our discussion.  People were very appreciative of our reordering, and some had not seen it before.  We were mainly talking about Mission Partnerships and the implications for us as a chapter.  I was pleased to hear that St Chad’s have just launched their plans for the reordering of their church.  They would like to do something like we have done at St Paul’s!

From Murray   

Thank you to all who took part in our Pentecost service last Sunday and to those who remembered to wear something red!  I found the part where we went outside for the fire particularly memorable this year.  How might we continually seek to be filled with God’s Holy Spirit?





MARGARET   Many thanks for all your support and prayers over the last four weeks without which I couldn't have coped as well as I have. Love Margaret

FOODBANK  Had a fairly busy session processing 15 vouchers.  Robert spoke to a client who had very poor health and had come because his benefits had stopped because of a change of address.  On a lighter side the cookery club made a pasta bake and tomato soup.  Robert enjoyed them both as did the clients.  Cookery club is becoming a great success.

 

The foods they are currently short of are: milk, juices, pasta sauce, sugar and tinned spaghetti.
