@bishoppete.bsky.social visited The Rivers Team yesterday to help mark the one year anniversary of their planting into St Mary’s Catcliffe’s with a 5pm service.

Bishop Pete preached on John 17, with members of the church family sharing testimonies of becoming part of the congregation.

A joy to license the Reverend Kirsty Massey as priest in charge of Anston, Firbeck with Letwell, and Woodsetts

Bishop Pete @bishoppete.bsky.social · Jul 8

Yet another joy in the store @sheffdio.org #LightsForChrist

Bishop Pete @bishoppete.bsky.social · Jul 6

And this was all it promised to be: Deo gloria, Deo gratias! #NewRevs @sheffdio.org

Another joyous prospect.

If episcopal ministry can be more glorious than this, I’m not sure how: it was my privilege today to ordain this fabulous cohort of 16 new priests. The Cathedral was rammed, the singing (choral & congregational) was rapturous & the sermon was hugely ‘uplifting’ — & those present will get the point.
