The Dean Writes:
Dear Parishioners and Friends all around the world,
One of my hobbies is gardening and I often spend what free time I have in the garden - you will see on the front page
of the latest magazine (viewable on-line in this website) a photograph of a beautiful rhododendron in full bloom that I
planted a few years ago.
As we move into the longer days of summer, the gardens around us are bursting into bloom. Solomon 2:12 states: "Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come; the cooing of doves is heard in our land". (or in the setting of the Deanery ‘the crowing of the rooster is heard in our garden!’).
The beauty of nature bursting into bloom reminds us of the joy and hope we have in our Christian faith. This season of renewal is a beautiful reflection of the abundant life God promises us. Another fitting scripture for this time is found in John 15:5, where Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” This verse highlights how vital it is to stay connected to Christ, just as a branch needs to remain connected to the vine to thrive. As we nurture our faith, we can experience joy and growth, similar to how gardens need care to flourish.
In our daily lives, we can cultivate this growth in several simple ways. Spending time in prayer allows us to connect with God and seek His guidance. Reading the Bible helps us understand His promises and provides encouragement. Coming to church and engaging with other churchgoers fosters support and joy, as we share our lives and faith with one another. Additionally, performing acts of kindness reflects the love of Christ, spreading joy to those around us.
As we witness the beauty of creation this summer, let it inspire us to grow in our faith. Just like plants thrive with sunlight and water, our faith flourishes with love and trust in God. May we embrace this season of growth and allow the joy of the Lord to strengthen us, transforming our lives into vibrant expressions of His grace. Let’s rejoice in the hope that summer brings and commit ourselves to nurturing our spiritual lives, trusting that God will help us flourish in every aspect.
Yours very sincerely,
