“A powerful moment for the church was when the day of Pentecost came”
As we now move forward with the plans that were presented to the diocese by Bishop Richard, for our future. Fr Kevin is tasked with the responsibility to guide our parish in implementing these plans, so we should constantly intercede with the Holy Spirit for a very successful outcome. At the latest meeting certain tensions were expressed and a true awareness of the need to be at ease with the implications of the decisions. Fr Kevin acknowledged the need for more time to clarify; yet with confidence in the overall plan. So there is a true awareness when there is a need to take time, Fr Kevin has sent a clarifying directive to the team and it is very helpful. So we must be prepared to work together with confidence and hope.
We are all united in one parish of Eastbourne and St Leonards. The key element which Fr Kevin emphasises is that it is made up of communities of faith. These distinct communities grow together. Sandra King and Gerry Palmer have acted as great ambassadors for our community and the members of our parish, and good work is being done by the councils. We have very important relationships in our communities at St George’s and St Wilfrid’s, and we are starting from a very good place with Jackie recognised as a blessing and is much appreciated for the work that she does. So with the help of Gods blessing and the power of Pentecost, let us all hope and soldier on. Special thanks for the events of last weekend.
