Ok so it’s a little late, but it’s meant with love. I’ve never been quite so exhausted through a Holy Week and Easter before but for the most part it was wonderful. I need time to think through lots of it but for now, here are a few highlights.
The Maundy Thursday evening service. This service holds [...]

Holiness

I often feel I need to start posts by apologising to Ben. I’m sorry I don’t write often enough and I honestly would like to write more and so therefore your gentle harassment to get me to write is welcome even if it doesn’t always get the best response! So apology over.
As ever in St [...]
Children

It is no secret that I have a lot of time for children of all ages (and spend a lot of time trying to convince myself that I’m not broody), but over the last couple of weeks there have just been a few moments when they have made a huge difference, that I thought I’d [...]
Nissan

The lost of jobs at Nissan is big scary news up here. Despite what the news might tell you Nissan is only half in Sunderland the other half of the factory is in Washington. We reckon about 1/5 of the working population of the parish works in Nissan or in supporting bussinesses. We’re working out how [...]
New Year

So granted I’m a few days late, but I’m a busy lass, so Happy New Year!
So I’ve been thinking about 5 things that I’m grateful for over the last year and 5 things I’m looking forward to for the coming year.
I guess firstly I’m grateful for a house to live in. This time last year I [...]

So Christmas is about here. The last few months have been very crazy. We’ve seen God do some great things and wept when we haven’t seen the answers to prayer we’ve longed for.
The prayer course went really well, we’ve had some encouraging feedback and are looking forward to running it again in March. It was [...]
Being Home

Being Home is wonderful, life without having to live out of a suitcase, having heating that works, spending time with people I haven’t seen properly for a while, makes me smile so much. I was like a kid on Christmas morning bouncing round Church this morning. I’ve thought lots about ‘home’ for the last few [...]
Catch up

Especially for Ben, since he has appointed himself my editor, I thought you might like a catch up!
I’ve been away at college for the last month. It’s not my favourite place, for lots of reasons, but it’s been a particularly hard visit. College haven’t been at their best in terms of organisation (I’m trying to [...]

I think God is up to something. It’s a bit weird, but quite exciting. I can’t quite decide whether it’s with me or with this place, or hopefully both, but I can’t stop grinning!
Ordination
Posted in Church, Fatfield on July 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s almost been a month since my ordination as deacon at the Cathedral. For those of you know me well, getting there has been the stuff of legendary sagas (perhaps that’s a little over the top, but it felt like it in the middle of it). The retreat before the ordination was no different, whilst [...]
