Leybournevoice @hotmail.com 4 5 We’re All Proud of Rev Pam Congratulations to Rev Pam Rink on her ordination as a priest in the Church of Eng- land. Pam, a former parishioner and churchwarden at Ley- bourne was ordained last month by the Bishop of Rochester, the Right Revd James Langstaff at the Barn Chapel at the Pilsdon com- munity in West Malling. Pam has been Guardian of the Pilsdon at Malling Com- munity for the past year. From the ordination service: Priests are called to be servants and shep- herds among the people to whom they are sent. They are to be messen- gers, watchmen and stew- ards of the Lord; they are to teach and to admonish, to feed and provide for his family, to search for his children in the wilderness of this world's temptations, and to guide them through its confusions, that they may be saved through Christ for ever. They are to resist evil, support the weak, defend the poor, and intercede for all in need. 6 7 clash- ing we Is it right to raced towards the have this much line… and we won! fun for charity?
