East Cardiff says Farewell

Hello to the beautiful churches of Moorland, Egloskerry, and Lanstephan...
As I prepare to join you as your new vicar, I wanted to share a little glimpse of the goodbye that’s just unfolded here in East Cardiff, a moment full of love, laughter, music, and prayers. I’m so looking forward to joining you soon as your new vicar. What a send-off!  Over 100 people from across the churches gathered for Mother Tina’s final glorious Songs of Praise - a celebration filled with faith, family, friendship, and phenomenal music. Our Director of Music, Nathan, played magnificently. Fr James, Tina’s much-loved training incumbent, spoke movingly of a curacy marked by joy, compassion, and her prayerful generous heart. The singing was rapturous. The cake was size of a cathedral step (And delicious.) The tears were many - of laughter, of gratitude, of love. Together we laid hands, offered our prayers, and sent Tina off to Truro Diocese wrapped in blessing. Her licensing to the Benefice of Moorland, Egloskerry and Lanstephan will take place on: Tuesday 19th August at 7pm St Paternus Church, North Petherwin (PL15 8LR) All are welcome. Tina, thank you for the joy, the wisdom, the warmth, and the wonder you’ve shared. May this next chapter unfold with grace and kindness, and may you always know how dearly you are loved.
