I expect you are all wondering when we are going to get our new Rector. You are not the only ones. What I do know is that the Church Wardens of our Parishes are working together to put pressure on the Diocese as it will be two years come September that the interregnum began. But we are so lucky to have all the people who help with our services (I’m sure I speak for all the Parishes) to a big “thank you” to them. So, as they say, watch this space.

It’s a quiet time in the Churches calendar but there is always a warm welcome at all the different services. Why not look in the front of this magazine to see the days and times and pay us a visit, you are most welcome.

Again two more very local ladies have had funerals last month.

The first was Mrs. Archer senior, you may have seen her on her mobile scooter up and down Druids Lane, laid to rest on Friday, 30th May. Our prayers and thoughts are with Colin and Paul and the rest of the Archer family who will all miss her very much.

The other is Mrs. Pearl Manning, beloved wife of Dougie who, I know, will miss her very much. Pearl spent the last 13 weeks of her life in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn and Dougie never once missed a day to visit her. Pearl was in the RAF during the war and later a post lady in Litcham. You may remember her. She also told me she used to do her bit in the church with cleaning and flowers many moons ago. As they are close neighbours of mine, I know Alan and I will miss her as will her extended family. God bless Pearl and our prayers are with you too, Dougie.

My prayer this month is a Gaelic blessing:-
    May the road rise to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sunshine warm upon your face.
    May the rains fall softly on your fields.
        Until we meet again
    May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Until next month
Love and God bless

June
