Reader in the Church of England and Warden of Lay Ministers in the Diocese of Peterborough. Still working (just), loving my family, chocolate and travelling.
Assisted at two Eucharist services during the morning at my home church ❤️. Then led an evening carol service at a neighbouring benefice currently in vacancy. Slight alterations in the service I’d been given kept me on my toes! But a privilege to be there with a lovely (and grateful) congregation.

I’ve still got the album from when I saw it in the West End in 1971….It has to be the original London cast, though, with David Essex.

Preached at both our main services this morning, at 8am and 10am. Never comes easily to me but seemed to go okay; love a bit of Godspell!

Assisted at 8am Eucharist, went home to have breakfast, back to watch the service at the war memorial, home, then back assisting at a beautiful evening Eucharist with the choir singing Faure’s Requiem. So blessed to be part of this worshiping community.

Pace yourself if you can, and remember to take your rest days 💤

Two Eucharist services where I was service deacon and assisting with an adult baptism at the first. The rector had broken her right wrist so everything was slightly different as we helped at the altar in the best way we could. Brilliant teamwork and joy after a really difficult week in the parish.

Or they would have had an email. At least one. But they still “know nothing about it”….

Follow me! I’m really boring but don’t argue with people. I came away from that other place some months ago and only revisit briefly for Revd Richard Coles….

Something different for me today, visiting a friend in Alnwick so went to the early service at St Michael’s before returning home. Lovely to be there.

Eucharist this morning and then evening prayer to round off a day of reflection on the Island of Iona. Lucky me.

2. And he forgot to give the little children a sticker each, so I had to whizz round doing that during a suitable gap in the proceedings. Great fun and blessed to be there.

Chaos level 1/10. Rector away on holiday and one of our assistant priests took over while I was service deacon. He just kept not quite being in the right place at the right time, which kept me on my toes.

Kit Kats for me (the 2 fingered ones - don’t want to appear too greedy), and crisps for any GF needs. And lots and lots of Maltesers (which I never share 😀).

We do the same. On the (very) occasional time we have the creed at our main Sunday service, it gladdens my heart ❤️

No physical church today as I was working but caught up with a gutsy sermon from our rector on line much later. But I did manage a little pastoral care with two of our flock admitted to hospital, one as an emergency 🙏

Eucharist + APCM in the morning. First service “On Holy Ground” at a different church in the afternoon, then back to home church for Songs Of Praise. Felt well churched out by the end of the day, but for once not actively involved in any services, so a different kind of experience 🙏
