@DocBrush @RiponCuddesdon Huge congratulations

It's been announced officially today that I will be adding the role of Vice-Principal of @RiponCuddesdon to my role as Director of CGH. I'm really excited to be taking on this role and helping shape the future direction of everything our pathways can offer the Church.

What a joyful gathering!

The Great East Window of Worcester Cathedral looking good this morning.

Such a joyous service. Lovely to be back in my first living now as Archdeacon to install a wonderful new priest who I know will be a blessing to the whole community

We are delighted share this message from Bishop John: The Bishop of Worcester is pleased to announce the appointment of the Revd Sarah Carwardine as Priest in Charge of the Benefice of Claines St John the Baptist and the Benefice of Worcester St George with St Mary Magdalene.

@DocBrush Booked in and so looking forward to the Retreat

I was pleased to supervise this excellent dissertation. The retreat should be great too!

Very good to be part of café church at St John the Baptist, Claines, this morning. What a wonderful group of highly gifted and hard working people lead it. Thank you!

On this last day of school term for 2023, I give thanks and pray for all the students and teaching staff. May they have a joy filled and restful Christmas break.

Today's gospel is the Magnificat, Luke 1.46-56. My #adventcalendar #haiku is: She expecting a word exceeding promise, gives voice for the voiceless.

What a privilege and pleasure to have Bishop John lead our service and preach a great sermon. Thank you for encouraging the Christmas Choir. And lovely to have H-J with us too. A joyful Christmas to you both from St George’s !

Here is the top of the new pinnacle replacing one that fell during Storm Arwen exactly two years ago today, taken at the topping out ceremony today. It’s 18ft tall: congratulations to all involved in making it and putting it in place.

@wonderfulexchng Welcome to Worcester, Gabriel

Worcester is welcoming Gabriel with a full peal. Gabriel would have preferred a few mice and a quiet morning.
