@BBCEssex Great to hear Kyle and Jo this morning. Open Table Colchester meets this afternoon at 4pm, St Matthew's Church, Harwich Road, Colchester

Last week,someone scribbled out the Pride flags on my noticeboard. This week, we're into Pride month, so I redecorated.

@DioceseofDurham @churchofengland @BishopPaulB @Coronation2023 @wabbey You have only some of the Bishops involved pictured here.

Are you local-ish to Colchester...thinking about church at Easter...not sure if you'll get a warm welcome because you're LGBTQIA+? Celebrate the resurrection with us at @opentablecolch - part of the @opentablelgbt - meeting from 4pm at St Matthew's, Harwich Road.

New profile picture... thank you @EventEssex

Tea and glitter at Fresher's Fair. Plus we're right by a speaker so when songs come on we know, there's Chaplainoke
What a fabulous day! So much hard work and planning @EssexSU

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

Do Nothing.
Monday 3-Thurs 6 Oct
3.30-5.30pm

Look out of our window & have a breather.
Take time to process. Destim.
Lie under a blanket.
Do what you need to be calm.

Open to anyone-it's not a religious event.
It's a quiet space.

Find the Faith Centre from 2NE & down stairs.

First day of October and first day of @Uni_of_Essex life for new arrivals. We went for a wander this afternoon to chat & welcome #essexuni #Essex #chaplaincy

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

Last weekday before term starts at @Uni_of_Essex and I've just found an extra bag of sweets. Chances of them making it to Fresher's Fair on Friday...?

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

375 names takes a long time to read. Heartbreaking. Thank you, Harry, for leading us through this evening's vigil.

[Essex SU @EssexSU]

Join us at 6pm on Square 3 this evening, as we come together to support our Trans community and remember the Trans lives lost due to oppression and violence.

Spend some time this afternoon in a space where grief and loss are understood. Gentle activities, outside space, a different window to look out from... 3.30-4.30, Faith Centre (enter from 2NE).

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

Are you dealing with a bereavement? Grief is tough. Come find a space where you can just be & talk (or not) of your loss. Wednesdays & Sundays in June.

Cycled home from campus, beat the rain by the length of time it took to take my coat off (or wind anchor, as I might now refer to it) and open laptop. That's my week's win right there.

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

@LorraineCavana2 @EssexSU Yes! Although he's more labrador than oodle so he's always hungry...

[essexchaplain @essexchaplain]

It's a hard life being a chaplain's dog sometimes - we had a fabulous time with @EssexSU's wellbeing day

[University of Essex @Uni_of_Essex]

So sad to hear of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Hearing about death can be hard if you're already struggling. We're here to listen.
