We have had another fabulous Christmas Tree Festival, from start to finish. It was just a lovely time for all. ...
It is with great pleasure that I would like to welcome you to St Laurence. Frances, my wife, and I have received a very warm welcome ourselves, so you will not be disappointed when you visit St Laurence. I am also the vicar of the other churches in Ansley and Arley – St John’s, St Michael’s and St Wilfrid’s.
Being in a rural and farming area in the north part of Coventry Diocese is like coming home for us. A number of years ago I pastored a church in rural Norfolk which was mainly surrounded by arable farms with some pigs and chickens. The strong sense of community life was something very special. This should be particularly valued in these days when many folk live such individual, separate and often lonely lives.
We have just had hot off the press a visiting card which I hope reflects what our church stands for: ‘You will not walk alone. Together we are with you on life’s journey’. Over these next weeks, months and years, I hope we can get to know you better and that you will find Frances and myself not just ‘churchy’ people but friends as well, who enjoy life and plenty of laughter!
It’s coming to the end of one year and the beginning of another. At such a time, I like to take stock and reflect on the past year. Then I think about any new resolutions I may need to take on board in the year that lies ahead. How quickly time flies!What special and important things have happened to you in 2018? Has it been a good or a bad year ...
