@bishoppete.bsky.social visited The Rivers Team yesterday to help mark the one year anniversary of their planting into St Mary’s Catcliffe’s with a 5pm service.

Bishop Pete preached on John 17, with members of the church family sharing testimonies of becoming part of the congregation.

Welcome to the Diocese! Hope you manage to settle and it soon feels like home. I hope you are very happy and comfortable!

Currently on a train from Sheffield that feels like a personal time travel experience, from my current life and ministry, through previous places I have been in ministry or lived, from York to Durham. Not sure what age I will feel when I depart the train.

What a joyous occasion it was!

Welcome to the Diocese of Sheffield @leahvs.bsky.social! Looking forward to getting to know you and working with you. Praying for you and the family during this time of transition 🙏🏻

Clergy gather together for what is called Chapter meetings. Today, for the first time in ages, my health allowed me to attend. What a joy it was!! We laughed so much and did business. If you were in any doubt @sheffdio.org and Rotherham Deanery is a great place to be!

We loved having you all join us!

Thank you 🙂

@bjlfearn.bsky.social and I have assembled with the only infinity stone that matters ❤️.

“The Psalms talk about daily lives. Happiness and wellbeing are linked to a picture of contented life.”

“Lament challenges the way the world is. It’s a radical move. The telling of the experience of pain enables a community to remember and be remembered.

“How much do we dare to wrestle with real life? How often do we protest to God about the state of the God, and let God shape our imagination?”

Glad it was a true celebration of your ministry here in the Diocese of Sheffield. Sorry we weren’t able to be there. You will be missed.

@bjlfearn.bsky.social and I are toasting the new Bishop of Coventry @bishopsophie.bsky.social. Cheering her on and praying for her and the family as she steps into this new role 🥳🍾

All Saints school Sheffield stabbing victim, 15, dies as teenager arrested A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.

Terrible news from @sheffdio.org today. Praying for the devastated families & friends & the whole school community tonight. Lord, have mercy…🙏🏻

And the difference between being stipend and self supporting. I suspect the concept of loosing our income and family homes makes a difference to what is reported and how.

Apparently we can get support from St Luke’s to look at it privately but I have yet to follow through on that advice… which probably says it all…
