Fr Tim -  MY RECORDED MESSAGE:

If you listen to my recorded message, you will realise how pressurised life continues to be and how badly we need volunteers to train for ministries.

The Funeral Ministry is a particularly urgent one, in that Bernard Kean has decided to retire at the end of September. He and Deborah Poole (in Bishop Eton) have supported countless families over recent years. I am immensely grateful to them for their outstanding service. If we are to continue to care for one another, we will need much more help. Bernard Kean is a little older than I am and, as you know, there are no clergy in the wings waiting to take over!
