Revd. Dominic

We are delighted that Dominic is now home and feeling more comfortable, but still needs a lot of care. This is only the beginning of a long journey back to health and a very busy time for the family. Please continue to hold Dominic, Heather, Ben, and Leo in your prayers.

If you need any information, please contact any member of the ‘Team’ at the Minster as the family are not able to take calls at the moment. They are extremely grateful for all the messages of support and prayers.

I will make sure that you are updated in Lifeline each week.

Acts of kindness:

After our article last week featuring Michael and Susan from Scarborough and Susan’s interest in being involved in the Prayer Shawl ministry, Julia Allum has already sorted out a project for Susan and not only that, her and Dave are going for a day out to Scarborough to deliver this to her.

Ephesians 4:32
“Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

 

Questions??”

We are frequently being asked for an update on the building work – when will it be finished – when will the hoardings be coming down – when will the new café be launched …….?

I am sorry that I don’t know the answers however I do know a man that does!

Our churchwarden Iain Ogilvie is going to write an update for next week’s Lifeline so make sure you read it so that you have the latest news.

Mouse Pottery

Artist Kjersti Goss Emberton of Sessa Ceramics of Humber Street Hull has made the Minster Shop some wonderful pottery. Made specially for us. Each handmade item contains a mouse to represent the Robert “Mousy” Thompson mice we have on some of the Minster furniture. There are mugs, lidded preserve pots, bowls, and leaf dishes. Many thanks go to Kjersti for making these lovely ceramics for us.

Christmas Card 2022

We are searching for an image for this year’s Minster Christmas card. If anyone has a digital photo that depicts this wonderful season at the Minster, please email me at shop@hullminster.org.

CAROLE SPAMER

It was with great sadness that we learned of Carole’s death.  Alongside Kim, she contributed so much to the church.  Whether it was making and serving teas and coffees at many of the services, organising items for a tombola at fun events, or contributing to the Bible Studies, she was always happy to give her time.  We shall certainly miss her.

Her funeral will be at the Haltemprice Crematorium on Thursday 21st July.  However, we wanted to celebrate her life which we will do on Wednesday 27th at 10:30 a.m. at a Minster Praise style service.  Please join us if you are able.

OUR NEW INTERN APPRENTICE

Hi, I’m Bailey, from Longhill, and I’m 16. I left Holderness Academy last year in 2021.

At school, my favourite subjects were History, IT sand German and I’m keen to develop my IT skills in the workplace through this apprenticeship. I found school difficult during the pandemic as we had to rely on a different way of learning and we didn’t always have contact with teachers, so it was difficult to know what to do when I left.

I’d like to develop my creative IT skills and also build my confidence whilst gaining experience in office work. At the end of the apprenticeship, I’m hoping to progress into further education having developed extra skills in different areas.

I’m going to be helping in the office and learning about customer service, communication, and office administration. My training provider, McArthur Dean, will be assessing my development as I learn.
