Vicarage Notes

Bread, water and wine was placed on the altar at our Harvest service, symbols both earthly and heavenly. There’s a fine modern hymn by Martin Haugen that was read as a poem by Jill at the restoration thanksgiving which includes lovely words that seem to echo our hopes and aspirations - for the harvest, for the future and for the wider world at a time of ongoing crisis:

Let us build a house where love is found in water,wine and wheat
A banquet hall on holy ground, where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God through Jesus is revealed in time and space,
As we share in Christ the feast that frees us – all are welcome to this place.

Welcome to Jill

I am very pleased to write that Jill Tucker is now able to assist in St.Lawrence’s on a regular basis and she will generally be taking the service on the 2^nd Sunday of each month. We’re very grateful to Bill Rolfe for helping out over the last few years. Bill is lightening his load a little and we send him our good wishes and thanks.

Thanks

We are very grateful to all who worked so busily to make the August lunch and September Barn Dance such successes. Well done everyone!

Best wishes and God bless,
