it was in 1959,<br />
when divorce<br />
was a terrible<br />
thing, especially<br />
for a good little<br />
Quaker girl’<br />
In December 2006, at the age of 77, she was<br />
baptised by her daughter Penny and her<br />
grandson Aidan, with her son-in-law Rodger<br />
conducting the service.<br />
And she’s never looked back since! After her<br />
baptism, she became a covenant member of<br />
the <strong>Jesus</strong> Fellowship. She also started to attend<br />
a meeting for over-55 members of the church<br />
in Northampton; it’s now her responsibility to<br />
find people to speak at these meetings.<br />
“One thing that really blessed me was a<br />
prayer group called ‘Zest’,” explains Pam, “It’s<br />
this group of older women in the church who<br />
meet together regularly and pray for different<br />
things. When they knew I wanted to move to<br />
Northampton, they prayed I would find the<br />
right house. And I did!”<br />
Pam is now a member of Zest and has<br />
formed relationships with members of the<br />
group that have held her through difficult<br />
times, such as her third husband’s death.<br />
Definitely not one to settle down, Pam’s<br />
house is “an open home” and she often has<br />
young people coming over for meals, or people<br />
that need a place to stay.<br />
“I’ve been through a lot, but I’m so happy<br />
now. I think it’s lovely that at my age I’m not<br />
lonely at all; I have so many friends and I’m so<br />
busy,” smiles Pam, “<strong>Life</strong> is wonderful!” JL<br />
