For the next few months I will be helping out (P/T) in @DioTruro while my friend @Paulcornwall, AD of Cornwall, gets better. Prayers for him, the Diocese and for me. I look forward to the leap across the Tamar. Jam/cream discussions are paused during this time 😉
Have you got spare coats cluttering up your closet?
Donate them to the #WallOfKindness, in the cathedral car park, so that people without homes can stay warm and dry this winter
Thanks to @RCHTWeCare and TCClarke for teaming up with us and to those who have already donated 👏
This year, for the first time in its history, we will be holding a Christmas Carol event for the whole community, kicking off the launch of a new vision that sees the Club becoming a ‘Compassionate Club’ partner with @CompassionComUK#utbb

Always nice to get a letter from a bishop but when it’s from both @pmounstephen and @bishopstgermans with such positive news and encouragement it’s even better. Ministry might be hard sometimes and sometimes we don’t know where we are going but @DioTruro is On The Way. #Positive
All aboard for the ‘Choristers’ Mega Zoom Schools Assembly’ tomorrow with 1000+ kids with @KellyBetteridge and @TruroCathChoir on: preparing our hearts for Christmas. All prayers for the kids and against tech gremlins very, very welcome! @DioTruro@TruroDioSchools
