APCM number 3

Thursday 19th April 2012

Not as sunny as yesterday

The first event of the morning was the celebration of  Holy Communion with the offer of the laying-on of hands with prayer for health and wholeness.  The next two hours were taken up with responding to messages from two funeral directors, three Churchwardens, a PCC secretary, the Archdeacon and various other people who had contacted me in various ways.  In the afternoon there was collating of papers and gathering of information before writing my report for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting of the parish of Horsley and Byrness which (as the title of the parish may imply) was a more complex matter than the single-congregation parishes.
