Pentecost. This Sunday (May 31st), 10am, a fantastic service. It's like the Church's birthday service, marking the fact that the Holy Spirit was for ALL PEOPLES. Something special.
Also coming up: our early summer Marriage Preparation course. The first evening was last night: it continues with a different group tonight and then everyone together on Saturday (may 30th)
. Run By Father John and Reverend Sheila.The next one will be in July.
If you like drama, come on Thursday, Friday or Saturday night to see "Twelve Angry Men (jurors)"

See their website above for more details. Tickets are around £6, and the stage is being put up in church as I write: staged in the round for the first time ever in a Players production, it promises to be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to seeing it on the Friday night.
The Chapel on the Hill progresses. it looks like our electrics have been commissioned, which is great news.
Jeremiah and Winifred will be getting married this Friday in the afternoon.
As for curried goat, in the title to this blog, that was about Tony's birthday. Tony is our graphics man. If you see our logo on this site, or many other things, then his hand has probably been on them one way or another.
It was his 70th birthday last week and he celebrated with... curried goat after church.
I missed it, I was in the Lake District (see photo, more on which later.) But I thought there was something great about that, that a sensible Englishman would celebrate his birthday with curried goat. He had the idea when Enid came round to our Men's group to show us how to make curry. And that's a bit of Pentecost in a way. Different cultures joining up. And I hope our church is part of that. It's amazing the nationalities represented in our congregation, just as they are in our parish.
Anyway, you can read more about Tony and his latest project on his website.

Finally, why the photo?
Well, I was just on holiday in the Lake District last weekend and I felt inspired by Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. Impressed?

PS It wasn't really a miracle.
