Faithful Women. The women in the Cook islands who wrote this lovely liturgy and the local lay women who planned it. (With tech support from me, I printed some pictures of boats) #40gratefuldays #lent day 3 Exercise: I cleaned my house.

I may have given the TikTok algorithm too much affirmation for showing me sleepy Muslim cats. Now it’s excited. Marie Marie! May we show you Ukrainian battlefield cats? May we? Ah go on then TikTok.

Every lent I do this project. For what am I most grateful today? And every year it strengthens my gratitude muscles. #40gratefuldays #lent Also I’m going to move my body every day because I’m turning into a sedentary potato person. I walked a mile and half back from the morning service today. 1/2

Things I am currently enjoying on social media: …all the outpouring of love and admiration for Zelenskyy (on whom I have a little crush) 🇺🇦 …Cats who are confused by Ramadan. “Why are you all up? Where’s my breakfast?” Their confused little faces! 🐱

I always forget what delicious and easy food pancakes are. Why do I not eat them more often? #shrovetuesday

I built it myself. Ikea said I would need a friend with a pencil behind their ear but I triumphed. Apparently I must buy more games now to fill it. #boardgames

I'm not procrastinating, You are procrastinating. In fact, I bet it was you who broke into my study and cleaned my desk, didn't you?

I just had a man who had never met me before interrupt a conversation I was having with someone else to say that “you might be surprised to learn XYZ” No no my dude. That would not surprise me for I did that actual thing for six years of my one precious life. #everydaysexism #church

A refreshing joy today to be with Spiritual Companions in the diocese and hear Bishop Jack Nicholls’ thoughts. And to be at beautiful Whalley Abbey. Look at it.

So impressed with the kids this morning. I talked about St Paul and how he learned not to hate anyone, no matter who they are or what they look like or believe. We talked about seeing with the eyes of our heart and they totally got it. Trying to equip em for a tidal wave tho arent I? #hopenothate

Is anyone out there planning a lent course? Any good recommendations? #lent #cofepeeps #churchofengland Particularly from an inclusive or justice seeking perspective

It's increasingly difficult to navigate social media, especially as a values-led organisation that uses social media to recruit new students, but the move from X to Bluesky was a simple choice. Now we could use your help finding our people on this new platform! Follow and repost if you love:

Tickled by text from churchwarden this morning. A lovely lady on our reading rota wants to know the Sunday reading for feb 2 so she can practice reading them aloud to her dog. He’s the most biblically literate French Bulldog in England, apparently. #curatejoys #cofepeeps

A parishioner came to the vicarage for a cuppa and a biscuit and a chat about his baptism. “But where’s your TV?” he asked confused. Tempted to pretend I just didn’t watch it but I use a data projector.

20 years after the first time it was nostalgic and lovely to see @jimmoray.bsky.social tonight And be introduced to Amelia Coburn, fabulous opening. I feel like at a gig many many moons ago Jim Moray and another artist whose name I don’t remember had me sit on the floor and sing Postman Pat.
