The Dash from Devon



The end of August, and we have finished our wanderings around the UK which has included 14 link churches and many supporters.  The happy occasion above was the confirmation of our God daughter Eleanor Thompson together with Lucy, Adrian and escaping brother William, with the Bishop of Carlisle who was doing the confirming.
For Peter and me it was a dash from preaching at St. Margarets Topsham, Devon to Christ Church Cockermouth ( in the Northern lakes).  With a whistle stop mentality we managed the journey in 7 hours stopping only for loo breaks and feeding and watering one another along the way.  We arrived 30 minutes late  at the church but as we entered the spirit of  joy and worship was physically tangible.  About a dozen young people were confirmed and it felt so special to have entered into a happy party celebration of developing  and growing faith.
