ON THE GLORIOUSLY
SUNNY SUNDAY
MORNING of June
30th 2019, feeling excited
and a little surreal, I was
ordained by Bishop Viv at
Bristol Cathedral. My training
incumbent, the Revd Canon
Dan Tyndall, placed my stole
upon my shoulder, and we
processed out together,
signifying that I am now a
Deacon, and a Curate of St
Mary Redcliffe — hooray!

At church ALL SOULS SERVICE, SUNDAY 3 NOVEMBER
6:30PM — A service to remember those we
love but see no longer, whether the loss is recent or
long ago. We call this time of year “All Souls” because
our journey through life is lived out with the support of
all the people of God, both living and departed, bound
together in one communion of prayer. We light a candle
of remembrance for those for whom we grieve, and
recall the lives of those who have gone before us as
their names are read out in prayer.
After a few photos to mark the
occasion, I was surrounded by
my friends and families and
out we went to my celebration
lunch. Less than 24 hours later,
I took my son to school with
my clerical collar on, and later
walked into the Parish Office
for my first day of work.
My colleagues are lovely and
the church family wonderful;
