There is some coming and going this month. We welcome back Revd. Pete, and we say farewell to Cathy Rodgers.The Revd. Paul Finlinson writes the Dear Friends article on the subject of Remembrance Sunday.Nigel curry gives us a useful update on the work of the Selby Foodbank, and Jill Clarke provides a detailed account of events within the Mothers' Union. So that's what she was up to last month...Thespians Ruth Breeze and Martin Millward report on a recent Brayton Reading Players evening in the parish hall. As usual, I made up the rest.
Welcome to the October 2023 edition of Connected.This month Revd. Christine Gillespie writes about how we live, and share the earth's resources.Jill Clarke updates us on all things Mothers' Union, and I dive deep into Parish Pump for the rest.
Welcome to the September 2023 edition of Connected.This month Revd. Roy Shaw writes the Dear Friends article, recalling working with the Mennonites in Europe and America: there is tension at all levels in life - heaven & earth, high & low, and of course, good & bad.Barbara Richardson reports on the recent Mary Sumner Mothers' Union celebration at Burton Agnes, and looks forward to the Annual Gathering in York on 22nd September.Yvonne Green shares a newspaper cutting from 1978 which noted that St Wilfrid's was looking for an organist, but in the meantime Yvonne and Doreen were 'standing in'. For some reason that all sounds very contemporary - Yvonne is still 'standing in'!I'm also thankful that Mrs Clarke took photographs during the recent Churchyard Tidying morning. Thank you Jill.The rest of the magazine is all my fault. Obviously...
This month I've had to delve into my store of articles: the holiday season is upon us, and my usual contributors are all sheltering under umbrellas on a UK beach somewhere! However I am grateful to Cathy Rogers, Tony Williams, and Geoff Denton, for pictures with which to illustrate this edition of Connected, and of course those event organisers who have let me have dates for August, or who need cleaners, organ benches etc.Hopefully normal service will resume in September
