Bishop Martin @SouthwarkCofE is running the Pennine Way to support children's education in Zimbabwe. Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/crowdfunding/b…

A good showing by @SouthwarkCofE at the excellent @PuseyCentre ‘Restoring the Image’ conference exploring Christian theological anthropology. Lots of excellent content on this critical subject. #restoringtheimage

Hot off the press! We have smashed our 50% of fundraising target ahead of schedule so we have set a new one. Jem and I celebrated with a spot more training! @SouthwarkCofE

As marquee comes down, been reflecting on the great summer it’s been. 10 garden parties, 7 confirmations, 5 appointments, 1 Eco-Pilgrimage, a visit from +Matabeleland, Lamorna Ash, much laughter, learning, deepening relationships & a lot of running! Pennine Way challenge to come!

A pleasure to host the Kingston Racial Justice Group and their invited guests. Important powerful testimony and experience. A real encouragement to keep going with this work. Thank you!@SouthwarkCofE

Exciting news on my Pennine Way challenge raising money for children’s education in Zimbabwe. Not long until I set off now! @SouthwarkCofE

Very good parish conversation & food at All Saints w Holy Trinity Wandsworth. Lots to be encouraged by. Good conversations on the Parish Support Fund, the Diocesan Investment Programme & Living in Love & Faith. Prayers for the flourishing of God’s church. @SouthwarkCofE

Excellent to license Revd Cara Gibbs as Anglican chaplain to join the team at HMP Wandsworth with enthusiastic support from the men & the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir. ‘When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony’. Prayers for healing & new beginnings @SouthwarkCofE

I’m bowled over to discover we have just hit 45% of our fundraising target for our work with the Diocese of Matabeleland esp schools. That’s amazing - thank you! I’ve spoken to the Bishop there who is also thrilled. Pls spread the word so we can push through 50%! @SouthwarkCofE

Ran with full race weight today - 30 pounds. Hmm, what can I chuck out? Extra thermal top definitely going! At least Jem will eat his food. @SouthwarkCofE

Thank you Bishop Martin for your hospitality. We had a blessed time. @MartinGainsbor1

Great garden party for women in ministry in the Kingston Episcopal Area - and the weather held! I give thanks to God for the privilege of sharing in ministry with these fine people. @SouthwarkCofE

Huge thanks to all those who have given to this worthy cause! We have nearly reached 30% of target. Can you help us get to 50% by the end of July? Please pray, give and spread the word!

Two fabulous confirmations both a stone’s throw from the river. St Michael Barnes and St Mary’s Battersea. Diverse ages, diverse stories, united in their desire to be follow Jesus. A joy and a privilege to see faith blossoming! @SouthwarkCofE

Amazing generosity! The Area Dean of Battersea Deanery, Revd Ian Luke-Macauley, presents a cheque for £6k on behalf of the deanery to the Chair of the Kingston-Matabeleland Link, Canon Steve Coulson (at the Oval but that’s another story!) Thank you! @SouthwarkCofE @SteveCoulson2

Very fine Eucharist with baptism and confirmation at St Anne’s Kew. ‘God has called you by name and made you his own’. @SouthwarkCofE @giles_fraser

So glad to preside and preach this morning @ascensionbalham with Marcus back from sabbatical, Amanda and Mike newly priested and presenting my Lancelot Andrewes Medal to the amazing Dorothy Penniecooke in recognition of her godly service and zeal for the Gospel

Four new priests in the Kingston Episcopal Area! Much rejoicing and prayers for all that lies ahead! @SouthwarkCofE
