At the Link on Sunday
Such a special occasion; indeed a great privilege to have been there. The food was so good, indeed delicious, yet the occasion was so, so sad. Kay’s acknowledgement “she was heart broken as the Link had come to a close”. After years of love and care, a sanctuary for those in need, a port of call as a Christian outreach to Hailsham and beyond. It expressed its belief in actions; always spoke louder than words, an open door. Ron will continue his outreach from the Christian bookshop for the moment and we will always keep them in our thoughts and prayers. It brought Anne Fielder to the foremost part of my mind, as she was always so involved in everything good that happened in our parish. It helps me to strengthen hope that our parish communities continue to refocus and grow. I believe Pentecost this year will be truly important. Let us walk and work together for a new Pentecost, for a revived journey of life, love and faith.
The Feast of St George brings with it an opportunity to highlight our shared journey. So the Mass at St George’s will be followed by tea and cake, thanks to Shirley and friends. It presents us with an opportunity to share new steps on our journey. We look forward to the work of our parish council.
A sad note to end. We have been informed Anita Stone has died; with her husband Geoff, they too made a great contribution to the life of our parish.
