It was a pleasure to get out and meet two new ministers to the area, and you can read all about it in this edition.

They arrive at a time when people have endured a time like no other. We have been fighting an unseen enemy for 14 long months by sacrificing a basic human need – social contact – and much more besides. The mental strain for many people, including some who might not admit to it, has been significant.

People like our church ministers Lyn and Dorothy offer a non-judgmental listening ear. Like most clergy they are sensible, kind and come with a sense of humour included.

And their willingness to adapt, move with modern life and engage with young people can only be a good thing.
