TOWER APPEAL LAUNCHED.
Paul Hardy, a churchwarden, introduced an informative and social event
which launched our Tower Appeal. The event was attended by Margot Sutton
and members of the Parish Council; Revd Matthew Brailsford, area Dean;
Andrew Boyce, our church architect; and Peter Nesbitt whose presentation
put the appeal into historical perspective. The event created the
opportunity for people to ask questions of Andrew about the proposed
work, the maintenance priorities and the specialist materials and
craftsmen that will have to be used. This appeal now needs your support
to maintain this building at the centre of the Hessle community.
Pentecost comes from the Greek
Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē)
meaning "fiftieth" and is celebrated fifty days after Easter
Sunday. During the worship, many of the congregation were involved in
the delivery of the interactive service which commemorates the descent
of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ
as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31).
A camping weekend, with some of us opting for a
converted en suite in the barn! gave the opportunity for eating, praying
and socialising together. In the informal atmosphere, we shared
the tasks of feeding the group of 27 people, washing up, preparing
worship and ensuring everyone was having fun. It was a surprise to find
Alpacas at our campsite at Highfield Farm! In the rain, hail and
windy conditions of Saturday, we visited Burton Constable Hall, which
amongst its lavishly decorated rooms, still has a Roman Catholic Chapel
dedicated for worship. After a Eucharist service on Sunday we, BBQed
late into the evening.
An experience enjoyed by all.
