Today is the day of our ordination rehearasal after which we travel to Crowhurst Christian Centre for our retreat until Saturday when we return to join our families for lunch at a reception with Bishop Brian before then moving to the cathedral for the service at 3.00pm.

It all seems to have come around very quickly.

I’m not sure if I will be able to blog at Crowhurst so I don’t know of they have wifi. Nevertheless I will be reflecting while I am there on the ordination service and what priesthood is about and how it is different to being a deacon.

Please hold my family in your prayers while I am away – and I look forward to seeing some of you on Saturday or Sunday.
