Gordon’s Chaplain

Delighted for the 11 students who were confirmed by Bishop Paul on Sunday in the school chapel. @CofEGuildford

Remembering the sacrifices of so many with a two minute silence and prayers. #VE80Day #LestWeForget #weshallremember

Fantastic to welcome Patricia Parker OBE and Davina Patel from the @KidsforKids Charity, the whole school charity for the next three years. The two spoke to charity prefects about their work with communities in Darfur, Sudan and the difficulties faced the people there.

Pleasure to meet @amanisimps today and hear how he turned his life around from school expulsion, being stabbed and stabbed and involved in a county lines drug gang to award-winning coach, filmmaker, visionary – and school governor with a degree! Thank you Amani! #inspiration

Lively debate over and after lunch in the Rec with Year 11 and invited guests Jeremy Rodell from @Humanists_UK (centre) and Tom Price from the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics - @theocca. Thank you both.

Delighted to visit fellow chaplains at Trinity School Sevenoaks to experience their amazing Prayer Spaces on the theme of the hope of heaven. A wonderful interactive, warm, welcoming and informative experience for all of their students. Well done! @trinity7oaks @tisca_uk

Looking forward to the start of the next Alpha Course at Gordon’s and welcoming even more students. #alpha #alphacourse #faiththeunholytrinity

Commemorated at St George's Memorial Church, today we remembered the 156 Gordonians who lost their lives in WW1. Also in the Church are the Brookwood Last Post Association colours. #gordonians #wewillrememberthem

Delighted to welcome the Bishop of Dorking, the Right Reverend Paul Davies to school today to meet confirmation candidates and students from the school’s Alpha Youth group and Easy Chapel. I look forward to his return on 18th May for the Confirmation Service @CofEGuildford.

Memorial Weekend made all the more special by visits to @wabbey, @StPaulsLondon and @GuildCath. Thank you to all those who made our visits possible and so enjoyable and the Bishop of Dorking, The Right Reverend Paul Davies for delivering the Gordon Sermon. #gordons140

The first of four Carol Services takes place today in the Chapel, involving over 130 students either singing or reading. The stunning nativity scene on the front of the Order of Service has been designed by Niamh, a Year 7 student. #carolservices #nativity #community

Two second places and a Highly Commended at the Cranmer Awards. Four students read passages from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer for the regional heat for the Diocese of Guildford, held at Charterhouse last night. A great result for the students. #cranmerawards

Very much looking forward to being part of the Evensong tonight at Guildford Cathedral. @GordonsMusicDep @ChaplainGordons #evensong #honour
