Preparations

Saturday 18th February 2012

Spring light, winter cold

     I wrote letters to the headteachers of the nine schools in this deanery inviting them to our next Deanery Synod when we want to consider how the Church can better serve the schools.
     Since I was uncertain about addressing one of these letters, I rang the school secretary at home.  We enjoyed a chat about where we had each been during the week exercising our dog or horse.  (There are places where, sadly, it wouldn't be possible to make a simple enquiry like this in a friendly way on a Saturday morning.)
    Then phoned the main organiser of Messy Church about who might be coming to tomorrow's session. [See Events page.]
     E-mails flew back and forth about the school reunion service in June as well as a wide range of other topics.
     Prepared material for STARS (service for the under-5's) and then settled down to writing a sermon for the Parish Communion (which will be repeated in both churches where I go tomorrow morning).
     So, as usual, Saturday is one of the busiest days of the week.
