• Holy Week starts with joy

    Many thanks to all those who made Palm Sunday so special at St Mary’s. (I’ve been ill for a fortnight, so it wasn’t down to me!)

    Thanks to Stewart Macfarlane for capturing this pic. A reminder that Holy Week starts with joy.

    I guess the Ascension was celebrated on Ascension Day? Very right and proper; but for those places that can’t achieve a Thursday evening crowd, yesterday would have been a high festival too!

  • What are you listening to?

    Oh, thank you for asking.

Particular things that I’ve rediscovered that I’ve not listened to for a while are:…

  • Are the podcasts working?

    I wonder whether there is anyone reading this who has an ipod and an iTunes Store account. I’ve put up two nascent podcasts one for audio and the other for video. I need someone to check out whether they are working. If you can help me test this out before announcing it on the church…
