I collected 'Becca from College at eight this morning to drive to up Abercanaid where she'd agreed to preach. She was warmly received by the congregation and preached well. It was good to be able to share my enjoyment of this visiting ministry with one of our students.
In the evening I drove to Tongwynlais, where Phil was officiating and preaching at Evensong, his final appearance there. He too preached well to an appreciative congregation. The Parish has evidently enjoyed having him there on placement.
I wish we could do much more to get students out and about preaching whenever the demands of placement parishes don't tie them down, so that they have even more opportunities to develop their communication skills and confidence sharing the Word publicly.
