My day so far. First attempt at Wild Swimming! Got to make the most of living so close to the Thames! @revkatebottley you inspired me!

Love this so much...

Christingle and midnight done. Nearly there... #ClergyMaltClub

Since I’m not preaching this weekend, I’ve compiled a thread of what I would have said in a sermon for today. It’s called ‘He is not here.’ In the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. #SermonInSeven for The Church on #HolySaturday 🧵
