@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.

Currently on a train from Sheffield that feels like a personal time travel experience, from my current life and ministry, through previous places I have been in ministry or lived, from York to Durham. Not sure what age I will feel when I depart the train.

What a joyous occasion it was!

Welcome to the Diocese of Sheffield @leahvs.bsky.social! Looking forward to getting to know you and working with you. Praying for you and the family during this time of transition 🙏🏻

It has been announced that the new Bishop of Doncaster will be the Revd Leah Vasey-Saunders (@leahvs.bsky.social), current Vicar of Lancaster in the @blackburndiocese.bsky.social at Lancaster Priory. www.sheffield.anglican.org/the-revd-lea...

Bishop Designate Leah Vasey-Saunders has arrived at @sheffieldcathedral.bsky.social ahead of an Ascension Day service. #LightsforChrist

A great Ascension Day service to close the announcement day for our Bishop Designate Revd Leah Vasey-Saunders! #LightsforChrist

Clergy gather together for what is called Chapter meetings. Today, for the first time in ages, my health allowed me to attend. What a joy it was!! We laughed so much and did business. If you were in any doubt @sheffdio.org and Rotherham Deanery is a great place to be!

@bjlfearn.bsky.social and I have assembled with the only infinity stone that matters ❤️. #Engaged

Happy International Women’s Day! Hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. #InternationalWomensDay @sheffdio.org

Aslan has been promoted by one of my church wardens to Canine Assistant Church Warden #AdventuresofAslan #Ministrydog #Clergydog

“The Psalms talk about daily lives. Happiness and wellbeing are linked to a picture of contented life.”

“Lament challenges the way the world is. It’s a radical move. The telling of the experience of pain enables a community to remember and be remembered. “How much do we dare to wrestle with real life? How often do we protest to God about the state of the God, and let God shape our imagination?”

Recruiting for an enthusiastic & hopeful PA to join me alongside a chaplain, building a great little team to serve @dioceseofcoventry.bsky.social Appreciate any shares across networks especially in the Midlands!

Grateful for any able to share this post being advertised as widely as possible. Might it be for someone you know? Will be delighted to welcome a colleague on this adventure with me! #praying #hopeful

@bjlfearn.bsky.social and I are toasting the new Bishop of Coventry @bishopsophie.bsky.social. Cheering her on and praying for her and the family as she steps into this new role 🥳🍾

Terrible news from @sheffdio.org today. Praying for the devastated families & friends & the whole school community tonight. Lord, have mercy…🙏🏻

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. This year marks the 80th anniversary since the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Pray with us using this prayer from the Council of Christians and Jews. 🙏

@bishoppete.bsky.social & @bishopsophie.bsky.social are both brilliant Bishop’s for a number of reasons, including advocating on behalf of those they have pastoral care off. @sheffdio.org

Beautiful winter moon.

It has been 2 years since I was licensed as Team Vicar & Oversight Minister in The Rivers Team. I had so much hope for what this move & ministry would involve, but nothing could prepare me for how many exceptional blessings God had in store @sheffdio.org. 2 years & counting…

On a rare Sunday off I took the opportunity to worship some Methodist brothers and sisters and worship with @bjlfearn.bsky.social in his church, cheering him on as he played the organ. If you look closely you may spot him.

Today we pray for: Bishop Pete & Bishop Sophie: for their leadership in the diocese, opportunities to share good news over the Christmas season & for some rest #SheffPrayer

First time watching Die Hard… at someone’s insistence…. I am bemused at how there has been a debate for so long about whether it is a Christmas film or not, clearly it is. Alan Rickman’s in it and he isn’t having an affair! Sure he is doing other bad things.

Lovely to be at Sheffield Cathedral and signing BSL for the Sheffield NHS Teaching Hospital Trust’s Carol service this evening.

There actually is no alternative open.substack.com/pub/tswyatt/...

Yesterday, thanks to @bjlfearn.bsky.social, I was introduced to ice hockey, & enjoyed it. Sheffield steelers played well. As Coventry are gaining our wonderful Bishop of Doncaster @bishopsophie.bsky.social as their Bishop, I feel it was fair we beat them 5-2.

My Presidential Address to the Diocesan Synod on Saturday, on Assisted Dying.

Loved seeing Wicked (part 1) at the cinema this evening!!! It was brilliant and we had a private screen for just our church family members in The Rivers Team 🩷💚. Excuse me while I sing a few popular songs from the top of my lungs, but maybe not by physically defying gravity.

Finally been introduced to community.

Sunny day off in Darley Dale #Derbyshire #countryside
