This month Revd. Pete Watson relates the bible story in John of the adulterous woman sentenced to be stoned to death, and relates this to God’s love and forgiveness for those who repent.Tony Service recalls the advice of John Wesley regarding the singing of hymns - thankfully this doesn’t include holding a tune – and also has some delightful responses of children to the question “What does love mean?”Karl Javis continues his virtual walk along the St Hilda’s Way, and Ruth Miles notes that we are all at risk when one of us is threatened.The Revd. Michael Burgess looks at Rossetti’s Ecce Ancilla Domini and Dr Ruth Bancewicz gives us some much needed advice on mental health as we continue in lockdown.The back page photographs this month are of a Parish Lunch in the old Brayton Village Hall in January 1994. Didn’t we scrub up well!
Hello allMany of you will know that here at St Wilfrid’s, Brayton, for many years we’ve financially supported a school charity working in Swaziland in southern Africa. So, I am delighted that Keith Fossey, who represents the charity in the UK, will be giving a presentation to us by zoom on Tuesday 2nd March at 7.30pm. The presentation, including an opportunity for questions, will take about an hour.I will send a zoom invitation out by email the day before.We are planning on recording the presentation and uploading it to the parish website and YouTube account. All those in attendance will be seen on the recorded video, so if you’d rather not be recorded, all you need to do is simply turn off your video for the presentation.Many thanks to Lis Middup for being our liaison with the charity and ensuring this presentation happens!Bye for nowPete
Bucking the trend of gloomy news the Parochial Parish Council is delighted to announce that the APCM will be held on Sunday 25th April at 12noon, possibly in St Wilfrid’s, covid permitting, otherwise by Zoom. Is this the first sign of normality returning in 2021? Anyone on the Parish electoral roll is invited to attend.An update will be posted in April if the meeting is to take place via Zoom.
