Follower of Jesus! Vicar of Rotherham & St Paul's Masbrough, with secondary loves of family, dog, beer, food and exercise in that order I think!

It was great to be in Rotherham yesterday seeing the amazing renewal that is taking place at Rotherham Minster through a social supermarket and a revival of choral music.

Remembering all those who have died at work or as a result of their work. Made all the more poignant this year with the news that over 100 health & care workers have died as a result of contracting Covid-19. There's a minutes silence at 11.00 #WorkersMemorialDay

Just part of today's food collection as we help support Rotherham's Food banks and those in our community. We might need a bigger car!

So grateful for a great service to welcome Rev Rachel Young to Rotherham tonight as our new Associate Vicar.

Thinking of and praying for those affected by flooding in our area today.

The flooding in Rotherham has given a rare opportunity to see the medieval Bridge Chapel in water : as it would have been when built and for hundreds years before the new bridge was built.

Luckily the chapel hasn’t flooded, yet.
