Rev. Irene writes:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love
him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
We live in a very troubled world, and many are asking ‘where will it end’ The verse above jumped out at me as I was doing a reading this morning and encouraged me, as I hope it will you, that we must keep focussed on God. We need to pray for those who are experiencing difficulties both personal and worldwide and we must never give up believing that nothing is beyond God’s power.
We were able to share with Christians from Sierra Leone yesterday as Bishop Thomas, his wife Victoria and PA Shirlene visited the Minster for both services. It was great to have them with us. They very kindly gave Rob, Louise and I gifts of white stoles bearing the Anglican Diocese of Freetown 40th anniversary badge which you will see us wearing in the picture here.
ICE CREAMS FOR SALE Great picture of Marion trying hard to keep the ice creams solid in the midst of the heatwave!
Remember our ‘pop up’ café is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday selling, amongst other things, great homemade quiches, and sausage rolls.
WANTED!
Do you have any teddy bears that would like a new home! If so, please bring to church and they will be part of our Teddy Bears’ Picnic later in the month where they can meet up with new owners that will care for them.
Thank You
This week our caretaker Grahame takes time off from building the ‘teddy abseil’ to tell us a little about himself
My name is Grahame and I am the new Caretaker Manager. I am a retired Fire Fighter serving 30 years in Humberside Fire & Rescue as a Watch Manager and Hazmat Officer. I have been fortunate that throughout my career as a Fire Fighter and before that as a scaffolder, I have been able to pick up experience of certain areas of the building trade which I can transfer into my new post. I was born and bred in Hull and I have a passion for DIY, outdoor activities and watching Rugby League, especially Hull KR. I am married to Shirley and together we love to holiday in our caravan, taking our beloved dog, Charlie with us. I am pleased to be joining the team here at Hull Minster and hope with my team of volunteers and staff, we can make a difference!
