FROM MURRAY
Well I managed one day on
retreat! I had a glorious day calling at
Mount Grace Priory to see a reconstructed Carthusian hermitage – the monks
spent most of their time alone and in silence but they had a little house to
live in where they could work pray and tend their gardens. My retreats do not include gardening but I
liked the idea of the balance in life – if only I could achieve it! With a bit more time to kill before I could
arrive I visited Saltburn and Staithes just to look at the sea. I was made very welcome when I arrived at St
Oswald’s Pastoral Centre. I learned that
it can accommodate up to about a dozen people who are always welcome to join
the four nuns in their worship four times a day. When we go in October we will have the run of
the house. There will be enough space
for us to meet together in the main lounge but there are some smaller sitting
rooms we could also use as well as a few summer houses! I made for a summer house with a sunny view
over the valley and managed to find a bit of stillness at the end of the day.
But by then it was clear that
my Aunt was not at all well. So I
arranged with the nuns to pack up and drive back to Sheffield the next
day. Ann then drove me down to Sevenoaks
where we found my Aunt failing fast. It
was hard to believe as she had been so well when we last saw her in April. We were able to discuss her condition with
the care home staff who promptly arranged end of life care for Molly. She was less aware of us by the time we left
on Saturday and she died on Monday.

RIDE
AND STRIDE - 13th SEPTEMBER
This is a sponsored event for Yorkshire Historic Churches. We have been asked to have the church open

day. (It’s the same day as the next Prayer Day at Longshaw.) Please see Murray if you can help.

be a range of local produce and crafts for sale.
FOODBANK UPDATE
They processed 12 vouchers and 184 kg. 120kg came in 18kg from St Paul’s. It was a steady session with lack of buses
because of road works accounting for some not being able to make it. Robert heard some encouraging stories which
cheered him up from people coping with mental health and alcohol issues. God is good!
