A Letter from the Rectory : February 2023
Dear Friends

Roe Deer
As I stopped by, that dark night,
Three roe in a gateway stood;
They seemed bemused by my light
So far from their darkened wood.
They stood ungainly and peered
Like kids or lambs fill’d with glee;
And then by magic appeared
Another to join the said three.… Read the whole story
Travels Downunder – A Reminiscence: Part 12
We left our explorers investigating the sights of Perth and surrounding areas, whilst waiting for better weather…

Letter from Rev. Cathy Bladen
Dear Friends & Neighbours,
As we head into Autumn, I’m reminded of the words from Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 that were read at the Queen’s Service of Remembrance at Edinburgh Cathedral;
‘There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot…’
For me as a Christian, Autumn with its harvest of crops and fruits is a wonderful reminder that no matter what is happening in the world the seasons keep turning and there is always hope of new things and times to come… even if in the moment we find it hard to feel the hope.… Read the whole story
