A new Benefice

We have now received formal notification of the creation of the Benefice of North Bradford on Avon and Villages to incorporate our four Churches. This merely creates a legal framework around all that we have been doing for the last year and so I have created a single web blog at www.northboacofe.org.uk Please update your links etc.

Sunday 19th December 2010

The snow looks beautiful...

...but treacherous under foot (and tyre).

We have already decided to cancel Parish Communion at Monkton Farleigh, and South Wraxall Matins is probably not on either.

Winsley and Christ Church are currently as planned.

Sunday September 26th 2010

Some months ago now we got to the point in Luke's Gospel where Jesus sets his face towards Jerusalem and, as I said at the time, there is a shift in the mood of the Gospel whereby the cost of following becomes really to the fore. What would it mean today, in our part of the world, with all our responsibilities and so forth to really grapple with that cost and stand up as mature, radical disciples?

Sunday September 19th 2010

As the autumn colours start to emerge (where on earth did the summer go?) out thoughts turn towards the Harvest, especially with Lost Sheep at the heart of last week's reading. This week we have a rather puzzling parable about a devious manager - not sure if anybody has ever voted for this as their favourite parable, but none the less we will try to unpick God's word.
