HOLY INNOCENTS FALLOWFIELD
JUNE 2018
June is the month of ordinations and baptisms….
After the drama of Pentecost the early church grew in number, initially among
their own Jewish nation but then spreading across languages and cultures.
Growth is all around us at the moment in the trees and flowers of our gardens
and parks. And this month we will be sharing with three of our adult members in the excitement of baptism. But it’s easy in our western culture to try and predict and drive growth – it’s something I see often in the world of business. With God, however, growth is always surprising, abundant and creative but in unexpected ways. We do not know what good things God by his Holy Spirit will bring in the coming month, we open our hearts and minds to him and wait expectantly.

We are hoping to be able to begin the work on our new path and back garden this month. We hope everyone is enjoying the new sound of the restored organ – Andy is coming to terms with having so much more power at his fingertips and beneath his feet. The new organ bench is adjustable - this means that the choir can now officially wind him up…
On June 8th we are hosting a session for a conference of Worker Priests (Prêtres Ouvriers) from 11am, followed by lunch. Working language French, but all welcome to drop in and find out about the mission and calling of priests who work in settings other than churches and parishes.
