A very warm welcome to church this morning!
As you know, in August we hold just one service each
Sunday, rotating around our four churches.
It is a wonderful opportunity to visit and experience
the very different characters and styles of the
churches in our Benefice. Please do encourage friends
and neighbours to travel around with you.
The Bowland Benefice Council members come from all
4 of the parishes which make up our benefice. They
work together to support Rev Claire in all aspects of
her work across the whole Benefice.
The Council needs a new Treasurer to look after the
bank account, pay bills, prepare simple annual
accounts and quarterly financial statements. Meetings
are approximately every 2 months and are friendly,
focused and generally short.
If you feel you would like to learn more, please do
ring Revd Claire on 07921 101320.
The thought for the beginning of August is a little
quote from Bear Grylls, best known as an adventurer,
survival expert, TV presenter and SAS Trooper.
I was introduced to these words at the baptism of a
great niece. I spoke to the Vicar after the service and
he kindly wrote them in my diary for me – he told me
he uses them at every baptism he takes.
They give a sense of reassurance when things are
changing perhaps when someone you love, (a son,
daughter or grandchild) sets out, as they inevitably
have to, on their own for the first time to face what
this big, beautiful world has to offer with all its
blessings, opportunities and pitfalls.
There is a light that shines in your heart that is
brighter than any darkness that you will ever have to
face.
