In June, there will be the football of course. And to celebrate the World Cup, the church and our three primary schools are putting on a feast of football themed fun, called ‘The Pulse Games’, held at Hartpury School on Wednesday 13th June. Yet, because I write this piece on Ascension Day, I share inwardly the disciples’ surprise at what God has done at Easter. Jesus is alive and ‘with us’, touchable and very present, on several resurrection appearances. Like the disciples, with awe and wonder flooding through me, I ask the Lord: ‘So what can follow that?’ Christ’s Ascension led to an interregnum. With Jesus gone, the disciples asked each other:’ What would life be like when the Spirit comes in power?’ In the same way, this June, our Benefice is in a time of interregnum: God has been preparing the churches of the Benefice for the future shape of things. Notably, in recent years, we have become proficient in sharing ministry together. And, in fact, Steve Godsell asked Bishop Rachel if he might join us to train here as our curate because we have this gift of shared ministry. Jesus is promising us an empowering of the Holy Spirit as we develop this gift. Full of the life of the risen Jesus and enlivened by the Holy Spirit, our gift for shared ministry will flourish even more as we welcome the Godsell family. TOWN STREET FARM Steve Godsell is ordained Deacon at Gloucester Cathedral 10.15am on Tirley Sunday July 1st.
