Vicarage Notes

St. Lawrence’s was full for the visit of the Talgarth Male Voice Choir and I am sure that all enjoyed what was a splendid evening. Thanks must go to Lilian and the team for arranging this event! Full details in the News next month.

Yet Again

It is immensely sad to report that heating oil has again been stolen from Church. This time the thieves cut the fuel line! Although nobody is hurt, this sort of action reveals the mindless vandalism that can be seen in far more unpleasant acts. We are looking at ways of improving security. My thanks go to Bill Fox for getting the heating up and running in time for the choir.

Thought for the month

November is the month of remembrance on a personal as well as national basis. There will be the special service on Remembrance Sunday, at which the collection will be for the Poppy Appeal, and within the service on the 2nd I will be including a commemoration of the departed. If you would like a loved one who has died remembered, please put his or her name on the list in church.

Hear us, O merciful Father, as we remember with love those we have placed in thy hands.

Shelter, we pray, the sheep of thy fold, lambs of thy flock and of thy redeeming.

Enfold them in the arms of thy mercy and in the blessed rest of everlasting peace.

Best wishes and God bless,
