A superb headteacher, and excellent to work for. He will be much missed but you have an amazing future ahead @thejhnschool 😍

Children (and adults!) being unable to fully articulate their thoughts, or argue their point in a clear and methodical way, raises massive barriers in terms of emotional development as well as future prospects. All governments should be prioritising oracy in curriculum planning.

@spaceonthehill Sending every blessing to you! I'm sad that I cannot make it up to Exeter but I'll be praying for you xxx

@jemaveryparker Edward recommends staying at the Friary. Apparently it's a wonderful place to live for 5 days 😍

[Reverend Jess Lancaster @JessLancJess]

Lovely unexpected ordination gift from my son after his retreat in the Friary in Alnmouth. I feel very blessed! @jemaveryparker I'm guessing you have one of these!

[Reverend Jess Lancaster @JessLancJess]

The pleasure of a garden. A wall of tayberries and loganberries every day!

@steveguffick @SanjeePerera1 I'm resisting googling how to open it. Determined to figure it out, but maths boy just stole it... I give him 2 minutes 😂

[Reverend Jess Lancaster @JessLancJess]

Almost one week later and the puzzle I was gifted at the start of retreat remains an enigma. I can think of many good lessons in this for ministry life... 😂 @SanjeePerera1 @steveguffick

[Reverend Jess Lancaster @JessLancJess]

@coastguardchap @bishopstgermans Thanks Tom. Starting today with a baptism was just the best way to begin this next journey!

[Reverend Jess Lancaster @JessLancJess]

Still floating and feeling immensely blessed, and a lot in awe of the journey I am on. Thank you to all of the beautiful people who have supported me so far and helped make it possible - especially thanks to @bishopstgermans for your gentleness and grace today

One of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is to learn a poem by heart. It will always be there as an achievement, and potentially as the right words at a time you won't expect.

[Poetry By Heart @poetrybyheart]

'Taking a poem into your heart makes it part of you. Saying the poem aloud makes you part of its life in the world. This is a rich and nourishing relationship that can last a lifetime.' Jean Sprackland, #PoetryByHeart competition judge

🕯️ DAY 11: Pentecost

'Pentecost is about the gift of God to show us how to live in a way that pleases God.'

For the final day of #TKC2023, watch Archbishop @JustinWelby, and young people from The Way reflect on the beauty of Pentecost, prayer and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
