From the Rector
This Sunday 5th July marks the 72nd anniversary of the NHS. When we think of the pandemic, the one thing that we all agree on, is the dedication of the men and women of the NHS, who have put themselves in danger for us. We tried to show our appreciation each week as we clapped and banged and cheered for them all to know that. And, yes, some of them died for us. But think what it could have been like without a national service. Where help would only be given to those with money or insurance cover. Think of what the death toll could have been and know in your heart that this debt can never be repaid.
I shall be on leave from the end of services on the 19th July to the morning of the 3rd August. Peter Carr and Anne Wilson will be standing in for me on Zoom using the above address. I hope to join you on Zoom and experience the service from the other side.
May the God of love and mercy bless you abundantly.
Marion xx
