October News from Saxtead

The glorious Indian Summer has ended in Monsoon rains and gale force winds, alarming and drenching my poor chickens, and tearing up an ancient lime tree on The Green by its roots. I hope very much that the weather will have improved by Sunday when we welcome our new Priest in Charge, The Revd. Canon Chris Davey, who is taking Eucharist in All Saints Church, Saxtead, at 6.30. I was privileged to attend Chris’s Licensing and Installation in St Michaels Framlingham last Wednesday, 23rd September. Archdeacon Jeannette Gosney gave a moving and inspirational address reminding Chris of his call by God to share the joy of his faith in Jesus with his parishioners, with the help of The Holy Spirit. We look forward to a long, happy and fruitful time of blessings in our benefice.
