Good evening all,

 I must confess I am very ready for my rest day tomorrow – I spent an amazing day in school as part of the interview panel for a new head teacher for Usk Church in Wales primary school. It was intense, and demanding, but also inspiring. The children were part of the interview process, and listening to children who are 9/10 years old talk about their faith and what they value about collective worship melted my heart. Announcement about the appointment to follow 🙂

How is your week going? I considered doing one of my emails where I give you a breakdown of my week to give you a flavour of my life, but must confess that it all fell apart because I started with emails – with over 130 received and another 130+ sent, I set the task aside! I will tell you that the Annual Vestry Service is taking shape very nicely, and the Annual Report is well on the way to be published. I’ve ordered the bacon and the pastries for our breakfast together and I really hope you will come along and bring a friend to our service in the hall of Usk School – 10am 31^st May. It’s going to be lively, hopeful, and a celebration. Not sure? Come and try it! 

I should also remind you that there is a special service with Archbishop Cherry in the Priory Church in Abergavenny on Saturday. The service begins at 11am, and there’s coffee beforehand. 

My final thing to mention is to thank everyone who has encouraged me during my Pray in May Morning Prayers. Loads of people are coming along and it’s feeling like we really are soaking the Ministry Area in prayer. There are still 12 to come along to if you haven’t made one yet, I’ve attached the dates, just in case. 

And now, it’s time to grab a bite to eat, tidy my study, and have an early night. Will is away and I’m already in my pjs!

I’m always happy to pray, I know you know that. Just let me know how.

With love, Sally xxxxx
