Email is wonderful – easy on the voice. It has been good to be in touch with our Lay Reader in the parish and he keeps me up to date with what is happening. He is enjoying taking the services etc and has risen to the challenge of weekly worship very well. He has a Hearing Dog called Ruby. She is an absolute star and is a great help with things like Children's Talks. I am told she enjoys being up front but is not too sure about being in the pulpit. Reminds me of a time last year, when I looked down the church and saw her head peeking round the corner of a pew.
We do get a nice class of congregation round here.
