Remembrance and Thanksgiving service

Tonight we held a service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance. It was the first service of this type I had taken so I was a bit nervous. We had a lot of people to remember and we lit a candle for each of them and named them by name. The clocks went back last night and so it's dark earlier on an evening. Not many people like to venture out on dark nights and the service, being at 6pm meant it was dark and so the service wasn't very well attended. Maybe we'll try it earlier next time.

New beginnings

It's been a while since my last blog. We are now without a Priest-in-charge at St. David's since Bob's retirement and he isn't going to be replaced. Revd.David will be taking Communion services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month and Audrey and myself will be taking non-eucharistic services in between.

It's a rather daunting and yet exciting time. Since Bob retired I've hardly been at church as my work has taken me out of the country for a couple of months. I'm now back and don't plan on going away again for quite a while. I've got into the habit of blogging to keep family and friends in touch with what I've been up to so it seemed like a good idea to get this blog up and running properly. Who knows, we might even get some regular followers and use it as an avenue to introduce people to Jesus Christ.

So - watch this space for what's going on in our corner of Beeston.
