This week’s special service is our Choral Evensong, which we hold about every three months. Please see the details of this service below and do come along.
In the last few weeks I have had several conversations with people about house moves. Some have moved recently, some are planning to move soon and are waiting on exchange of contracts etc., and some are starting the process. Of course Moira and I have our own house move which takes place in two stages. This Tuesday a removal van comes to the vicarage to take all the things Moira needs to set up home in Tiverton. Part two will take place in the Autumn. No doubt we will have some things in the wrong part of the country for the next few months, but I will keep a close eye on my model railway boxes so that I can take part in the next Model Railway Exhibition at the end of August!
May you know God with you this week,
Tim
