       YOUR VICAR


       My dear Friends,
       “In my end is my beginning” are words that Mary, Queen of Scots is reputed to
       have said shortly before she was executed. TS Eliot uses similar in ‘East Coker’ one
       of his poems in his Four Quartets, but he also said the reverse “In my beginning is
       my end”. Each time we have a new beginning, there is a joy of new hope. I often
       feel that sense, when I have the privilege of baptising a baby; we may not know
       how this new life will work out, but we can have a renewed hope for the world,
       that  this  baby  will  grow up  to  play  their  part in  making  our  world  more  as  God
       would want it.

       2018 is past and over. For all of us there will hopefully have been many good times
       and  their  memories  will  live  on  but  there  may  have  been  times  when  we  wish
       things  had  been  better.  What  will  2019  bring  for  each  one  of us?  We  may  well
       have our own hopes for ourselves but I trust we are all united in our greater vision
