To the leader. A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
4 yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the decrees of the Lord are sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey,
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can detect their errors?
Clear me from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from the insolent;
do not let them have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Hello! I’m really looking forward to joining the parishes of Bickleigh and Shaugh Prior as a part-time ordinand on placement. I’m training with CMS on their Ordained Pioneer pathway and am studying for an MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission.
I was ordained in Truro Cathedral in 1999 and served my curacy in Looe, Cornwall. I was Priest in Charge for the neighbouring parishes of Talland, Pelynt and Lanreath until I moved to South Oxfordshire in 2009 to be Vicar in a Team Ministry near Henley on Thames.
I would like those interested in forming a core group to start meeting to pray. Initial dates: 25/10, 8/11, 22/11, then break in December and start again Jan 10th by which point I would like us to be able to bring in others from school to start meeting too. The idea is to bring in families who seem interested in helping us plan what worship might look like to help us formulate the right way to start this new worshipping community.
