THE RECTOR'S RAMBLINGS
The Rector's Ramblings are Kevin's weekly musings on recent global,
parochial and personal events. They may also reflect on some aspect of the scriptures that are pertinent today.
Harvest reminds us that we do not live by our own efforts alone. The food we enjoy, the land that sustains us, the people who work to provide for us, and the generosity we share are all gifts.
On Sunday last we gave thanks for God’s provision, remembering those who have little and those who labour to feed others. May our gratitude become generosity, so that the blessings we receive may become blessings shared with others.

It was uplifting to see so many come along on Saturday to help with an end-of-season clearing of St Brigid’s graveyard. There was a wonderful sense of community as people worked together, clearing paths, cutting back bushes, removing weeds and generally helping to care for this important and historic part of our parish. A sincere thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and good humour. Your willingness to help is greatly appreciated.

The Feast of St Francis of Assisi, celebrated on 4th October, honours the 13th-century friar who founded the Franciscan Order and devoted his life to poverty, compassion and harmony with all creation.
Francis is remembered for preaching to birds, caring for lepers, and referring to the sun, moon and the elements as his brothers and sisters. Unlike many religious orders of his day, he chose to live among people rather than apart from them. The feast was established following his canonisation in 1228, just two years after his death.
To mark the feast this year, we will have a Pet Service at St Brigid’s at 11:15am. You are very welcome to bring along your pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and anything else reasonably house-trained are all welcome. However, please keep the goats, horses, donkeys and dinosaurs outside, as they may cause some damage to the carpet!
