Steph and Pam with Ross Adcock and sister, Liz, in the new social area at Uplowman.
St Peter was well and truly celebrated at the well-attended Team Service at Uplowman on Sunday. The congregation was treated to learning a new song, written by Rachel, seeing the reading from Acts brought to life by the OTB Team and the Team Choir singing during the Communion.
At the end of service the new social area was blessed by Rachel. This area has been donated by the Adcock family in memory of their mother, Mary, who was a devoted member of the congregation.
Steph then gave a presentation about the joys and challenges facing Uplowman church and how they valued being part of SPTMC. The morning ended in true Uplowman generous style with a BBQ for anyone who wanted to stay. A truly happy occasion!
Bishop-Designate, the Venerable Moira Astin, with Bishop Mike and Bishop James
There will be an official welcome service for the new Bishop of Crediton at the cathedral on Sunday 6 July. Both her consecration service and welcome service are open for anyone to attend.
Mill House Retreats has now been sold and Jane Taylor is moving to Petersfield. We were originally going to present her with a Garden Token at the Team Service after Christmas, but things didn't work out, so finally, we have been able to give it to her. Christopher Rowley presented it to her on behalf of SPTMC to thank her for all her help to the Team over 21 years. Hopefully she can put the token to good use in her new garden.
Jane, with the help of Lynne Chitty (who is also moving to Petersfield), has done a wonderful job of founding Mill House as a retreat centre. The new owners are Duncan and Karen Layzell, who will endeavour to continue and develop the retreat work at Mill House. Please remember them in your prayers.
