“Next time we meet, see you in heaven”
What a beautiful note coming from the mouth of Ruth Ayres to her friend Judy Davies, as her farewell greeting just before she flies out to her new life with her daughter in America. When the spirit is willing then age can only be a number even if the health is not good. Next Sunday it will be the turn of St George’s church to give thanks for all our treasured memories of those who contributed so much to the life of this church over the years. We will have special prayers and blessing in the garden after the Mass.
Solid steps are being taken to develop our lives of faith and ministry here together in our parish. In the wider context in our diocese much of the focus remains on what priests are available to the parish. Our efforts over the years to be a body made up of many parts working together will be truly tested. Our new parish council, with all the work that is taking place by our children’s liturgy group with the hope that it will serve all our young members better. Yes a new generation is required.
