This Week - A retrospective

Well, here we are with another week gone and Sunday beckoning. I have been asked to give a brief review of the week that was for someone who wanted to consider various sorts of ministry (apparently we are an estate church!). So here goes:

Sunday: Couple of Common Worship communion services, Annual Church meeting
PM BCP Evensong.

Monday: Daily Office, Staff meeting, Drop-in session (free tea/coffee/cake and biscuits),
PM  funeral visit, administration, Kid's Club, paperwork, Men's meeting (yum!)

Tuesday: Daily Office, Church's Together meeting,
PM administration, home visits, Chaplaincy

Wednesday:  Daily Office, Missioner work
PM Missioner related (office), Funeral and interment, school visit, visits, Housegroup (new)

Thursday: Daily Office, Communion service, drop-in session (free tea/coffee/cake and biscuits),
PM Pastoral visit, School Assembly, paperwork, Missioner teaching session (an expert being anyone away from home!)
e3
Friday: Daily Office, broken computer!!, funeral (Crem')
PM 3 hours off (Sarehole Mill), Kid's Club, office stuff,

Saturday: Daily Office, service planning, chaplaincy

And that's the week done and dusted and ready to go again.

Hope this helps!

A, very, brief look at my week (now you can see why I love this ministry lark!).

How to make your wife's birthday special

Today is my wife's birthday and so:

she had breakfast in bed

Then I took her to some nice outdoor location:

Glascote Cemetery

And then took her for a meal (and it was superb - the food was fantastic):

This is a brilliant place to eat!

And then I took her to a bookshop (well actually I left her outside in the car but I wasn't more than twenty minutes):

(and she did have a coat she could wear!)

And then I bought her some boots:

And took her for a cream tea:

Even saw the Curate and his wife there!

And then popped into one of Tamworth's bestest retail outlets:

Where I bought a new rod for her to use!

And then we went home.

Now, who says that we clergy don't know how to show the better half a good time on their birthday for goodness sakes?
