DOV Accompanist, All Age Worship, Kyle.
So I have been matched by the Connexional Team with Deacon Mark. and just as I was re-reading my email to him with introductions - he rings:
Dear Mark,
Well, this is exciting. We've been matched as part of DOV1.
I understand the process of becoming an accompanist is itself demanding and I am so very grateful that you have offered to take on such a role. It's so humbling that people are willing to serve in this way and to support me as I (and the church) undertake this journey of discernment.
Anyhoo, I know we've got quite a bit to get through as we look at DOV1 together and I wonder how you'd feel about meeting up in person? I can travel to you, or I'm happy to host you in Sedbergh, whichever is more convenient for you.
A few options would be a really good start and I'm sure we can make one work. Email or ring at any time - contact details below. If I can't take a call, I'll ring you back as soon as I can.
All the very best,
Matt
We've covered some practicalities re: meeting times and places. How very real. He seems very organised, gentle. I must look into the Diaconate.
Church was incredible, stitched thread creating a beautiful complete tapestry. I led an all age address at Cornerstone: 1 Cor 12:12-26 One body, many parts.
The vestry prayer was somewhat challenging - something about ensuring Sunday is dedicated to prayer - but it was styled in such a way that one should keep a list of things for Sunday. Nope.
I had several missed calls during the Service. It was work ringing to get NoK details for a colleague who died suddenly in his sleep. Just awful. He was a man of faith, I’ve texted Padre re: support and prayers.
