Revd Amanda Sim

Wife, mum, curate in CofE, calls for love, kindness & inclusivity, marginally amusing and warn out old bird! ✝️

@nickralph1 It’s certainly been that - now just itching to get started!

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

We are beyond delighted to be starting the next chapter!

@_timpike @CofEPortsmouth Thanks Tim 😁

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

My two wee pooches - Jim and Tom, detest fireworks but thanks to @ClassicFM they are quite happily chilling out on my lap. Obviously this means I cannot move/cook supper/tidy etc! Thanks @CharlotteHawkns for the rather fab #PetClassics 🙏🏻🐾

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@HannahBarraclo8 @organprojectorg Well that’s just peachy! I’m still writing the sermon for tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@ScottAniol Blimey, that means all my TI supervision is out the window and he is at risk of all manner of problems with GDPR!! 💁🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@peterleonard200 NO! I wholeheartedly and most vehemently disagree with that statement, my good man! Veggie sausage sarnie with brown sauce is akin to manna from heaven. The End 🤣

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

Me - ‘Just nipping to the fabric shop to get some black thread, back in a mo’

Husband - ‘okay, see you in a couple of hours’

Me - 😳 *he knows me too well, no need to hide fabric stash on return 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@HannahBarraclo8 Nooooo, not yet 😥. Sending you massive hugs and tummy rubs to Alfie. Xxxx

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

Out and about in the parish, meeting people, drinking coffee, loving clergy life. #blessed #newrev #godineverything

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@NorthallSarah And now singing “up above the streets and houses…” 😁

If I was a dog…

ME IN THE NEXT LIFE

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@NorthallSarah I can’t un-see Bungle now 🤣🤣🤣

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@DocBrush @RiponCuddesdon It went really well! Had some great feedback with some saying it was like have a convo with a friend, another said I was a breath of fresh air and one asked to have a copy to show her friend! Just waiting to hear the anonymous ‘it was pants’ feedback 🤣

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

First sermon of my curacy today. Due to a few different factors it’s only my third…EVER 😳. Unlike the ‘curate in a box’ escapades, writing and delivering sermons IS something @RiponCuddesdon and @DocBrush prepared me for. Come on Holy Spirit, do your thing 🙏🏻✝️😁

As a Southerner married to a Northerner I am an honorary Newcastle supporter. Who knew the NUFC lunch bag could be subtly refashioned into a clergy lunch bag…#happydays #newrev #NUFC

Life of a #newrev day 4:

Tesco express.

Little girl in a school uniform:
Mummy, that’s Reverend Amanda - we put her in a box yesterday 🤣

Mum:
😳😬 sorry!

Me:
It was really good fun!

Mum:
Come on darling or we’ll be late

😬😂😂

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@kieronrowley @RiponCuddesdon I did my best 😉

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

Am I a curate in a box, a cardboard box?! First infant school collective worship done. No one prepared me for this at @RiponCuddesdon! This though, without a doubt is my calling. 🙏🏻😁📦

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@HannahBarraclo8 @RevRobDenton And perfect toast with just the right amount of melting butter! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, two thirds melted butter to one third softened butter!

[Revd Amanda Sim @AmandaGSim]

@HannahBarraclo8 I concur…and strawberries (unless you have champagne on the side then who cares what the strawberries taste like!) 🍓🍾🥂one of these glasses has your name on it 😉
