Help and helplessness sometimes go hand in hand. When I went into the Parish office to give a helping hand this morning, my colleagues were all looking pretty grim. 'Busy week?' I asked. That was an understatement. Our Vicar had suffered a stoke and was in hospital. The Parish team, both clergy and laity, are stretched to full capacity to keep things running smoothly.
Thus the feeling of helplessness that we all feel. It isn't until something like this happens you realise how much some of the clergy put into their Parish, and this is a big Parish.
If you are a Christian reading this, please pray for all stoke victims at this time and the families that are left devastated by it.
