From the VicarageDear FriendsEaster is almost upon us and the weather certainly has taken a turn for the better, although yesterday the heavens opened and the wind was on the wild side. Let us all hope and pray that this is the start of a truly blessed Summer, which we all need ,following on for what seems to have been for many people a really dark, damp, depressing winter.As we look forward to celebrating the joyful news of Easter morning and look forward to Summer and the start of the tourist season, let us just spend a moment looking back at what has just gone. Our APCM’s (Annual Parochial Church Meetings) are all about looking back, looking back at what we have done over the last year. It is a time for reflection and comment on why we did what we did, and to thank people for all that they have done in service for the church over the last 12 months. Much of what makes our churches work goes on ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak. People working quietly in the background ensuring that our churches are open and welcoming for services, and that they are warm, dry and well maintained. Thank you to everybody who makes our lovely churches work. Your help and support is greatly appreciated.Particular thanks this year need to go to Christopher Tetlow, Ed Wakefield, and Rodney Lambert who are all stepping down from their respective roles after many years of dedicated service. Their support, especially at Rostherne has been enormous and we all owe a huge debt to them for all that they have undertaken over the years. Thank you all for all that you have done.Holy Week is nearly upon us, and by the time this article comes out it might already have passed, but I do hope that you will either try, or did try out some, if not all of the special services during this most Holy period in the Church’s year.May I take this opportunity of wishing you all a very blessed and joyful Easter.Yours in ChristRobert
