RIP to Tim Curry - the man who delivered the greatest line reading of all time
The Church in which I was baptised and grew up. Sadly Gloucester Archives hold a letter from a later Vicar consenting (with regret) to matches taking place at the same time as services at St Cyr’s.
Lovely picture of Stinchcombe Stragglers players heading from church to the cricket ground. In the summer some services were held in front of the cricket pavilion and once a year the player attended a Cricketers' Service in their whites before heading to the ground. Cricket and the church were once intertwined parts of village left across England
Civic Sunday Parish Eucharist featuring a guest preacher, guests and dignitaries, and a bit of Bl Nicholas Ferrar’s tomb.
‘Hastings, Sandwich, Hythe, New Romney,
towns whose story now we hymn,
bound in strength with glorious Dover,
ancient towns and many a limb.’
38 minutes of fame at last.. ‘Let us light a candle in the darkness’

A brief calculation reveals I have preached one Gilbert & Sullivan sermon per year since ordination. Last night our hearts, like Sir Joseph’s, may rise when we trust in the anchored Cross. Like much of Pinafore, the anchored Cross is a contradiction and yet makes perfect sense.
Reflecting on this morning’s appointed Old Testament reading: Hearty congratulations to King Jehoash on the successful launch of his fabric appeal.

Over one hundred information packs handed out at Sunday’s launch of the Warm Welcome Project, our 5 year vision for the fabric of our building and six areas of our life together - children/young people, teaching/praying, eco, pastoral care, tourism/visitors, and Little Gardens.
We thank thee Lord who by thy spirit doth our faith restore
When we with worldly things commune & prayerless close our door
We lose our precious gift divine to worship and adore
Then thou our Saviour, fill our hearts to love thee evermore

Croquet with the stunning view of St Clement’s… Even if some members of the Parochial Church Council now appear to be turning on the Rector…….
Come and hear Joe Grogan (bottom right, our Ordinand on placement) preaching tomorrow morning at the 10:30am Parish Eucharist.
