Garden Talk at All Saints, Hawton with
Andrew Ward
Dear All,
As you read this article we will all be preparing to cast
our votes. The many months of debate across the
media will come to a screeching halt on Thursday 7th
May. Throughout that night and into the early morning
highly paid pundits will speculate on the outcome.
Depending on the results there may be a period of
further discussion before a government is formed. We
all have a responsibility to vote, it is not just our duty
but a privilege fought for by men and women of earlier
generations. We need to honour their memory and the
sacrifices they made in their day.
We have completed all our AGM’s across the United
Benefice. I am as always very thankful for the support
and assistance given willingly by so many. All our
church communities face challenges and, as the coming
months unfold, new opportunities will arise that we will
meet with the United Benefice’s usual good humour
and positive sense of adventure.
Our shared faith adventure, discovering what we are
called to and how we will accomplish ideas and
ambitions, discovered through prayer, conversation,
debate and disarmament make being part of our United
Benefice, exciting, sometimes risky, but always, always
worthwhile.
As we move through the Easter season and on to
Pentecost and Ascension, we have much to look
forward to.
Again thank you all for your support
Yours in Christ, David
