So special to see the #Gloucester Civic Bible whilst spending time in the Mayors parlour today. Presented in 1935 during the Kings Silver Jubilee celebrations by Mr H Leslie Boyce to Gloucester, it has space in it for each Mayor and Sheriff of the city to be recorded until 2035
Yesterday was a day of prayer @stbarnabasglos It was great to get up on the roof of the church and pray over our communities and the wider city. @SarJT@GlosDioc

Great 2nd session looking at Trauma Recovery. Interested in how we connect faith to our bodies (and the church which is Christโs body) which carry our story, scars, wounds & experiences of all kinds good and bad rather than subduing the body and what it is trying to tell us
