A wonderful, joy-filled and Holy Spirit-filled confirmation with Bishop Jill Duff. Congratulations to Tony, Nathan, Joe, Ellie and Lauren. Great to have candidates from both Holy Trinity and St Paul's, and all three of our schools: Freckleton C of E Primary School, Strike Lane Primary School, and Warton St Pauls Church of England Primary Academy.
Thank you to the parish council and some of our volunteers, who have worked hard this week. A little extra work needed to get it looking this good after no mow May.
Rev. Tracy was licensed as priest in charge of Christ Church, Wesham by Bishop Philip at the Eucharist at Whalley Abbey today. This is so she can become Jono's training incumbent.Exciting times for Christ Church, Wesham as Jono will soon be joining them as their curate in charge and leading the ministry there. Please pray for them all.
Laura, who is training to be a Licensed Lay Minister for Christ Church, Wesham, is on placement with us and led our service.Thank you to Year 6 from Freckleton C of E Primary School for your beautiful prayers.We thought about Ascension Day, and the children ascended a teddy up into the pulpit as an illustration. And we thought about how that was the start of a church, a small seed that grew with the Holy Spirit's help, so we planted sunflower seeds. And we reflected on our mission to others, too.Heather, one of our churchwardens, is celebrating a special birthday this week, so we all shared cake!
