Giving thanks for David, Angela, Peter and Joanna, our lovely Readers in the Pershore Benefice! 😇👏A Readers residential has been taking place this weekend at our diocesan retreat, Holland House, near Pershore. Over 30 Licensed Lay Ministers from across the diocese have come together to allow time for fellowship and to connect with the Word and reflect on it together. Please continue to pray for our LLMs and that this weekend will prove to be refreshing and fruitful, assisting them with the important work they do across the diocese. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s all fun and games in the Peregrine Nursery

It’s all fun and games in the Peregrine Nursery this week as the four offspring continue to develop. Last night they camped out on the slate, feeling grown up and adventurous.

They are now walking around more confidently and still stretching their wings. Their adolescent feathers are starting to appear through the downy ones and they are growing by the day.

Mrs P likes them to line up now at feeding time so she can keep them in order. Mr P was most impatient with her bragging about this trick. “They’re not the Von Trapp children!” he snapped at her. Mrs P was most displeased with him on this, especially when he laughed because the youngsters broke out of formation confusing poor Mrs P as to whom she had fed or not! She made some very cutting remarks to Mr P about his gene pool and Mr P thought it was about time he had another fly round the block 😂.

The Abbey Grounds now resemble a boarding school dormitory after a pillow fight with so many feathers that it almost looks as if it has snowed! Mr P is counting the days now until his Autumn holiday and hopes that Mrs P will be a bit less sentimental about this brood leaving home than she was about last year’s lot.

Yes it’s definitely all go being a Peregrine parent! 😂❤️ 🦅

2 weeks old and our 4 Peregrine chicks are still thriving thus far. Mr P is in overdrive providing the food whilst Mrs P patiently feeds each chick in turn. They are now starting to spread their wings out periodically and occasionally sit like “white Buddhas” as it is often described.

As we have learned from our friends at Worcester Cathedral, life in the wild is precarious so we mustn’t take anything for granted at this stage. All we can do is hope and pray that we have another happy outcome this year. 🙏🏻

You can watch their progress on our Pershore Peregrines YouTube channel

Today as we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we pause to reflect and honour all those who bravely served their country throughout WW2 to achieve peace in Europe back in 1945. Their sacrifices and determination in the most horrific of circumstances should never be forgotten.

As we are reminded of the travesty and human cost of war, we continue to pray for peace across the world. 🕊️

We invite you to join us in offering @thechurchofengland prayer for #veday80 🙏🏻

Spare a thought this Bank Holiday for poor Mr P who has been up since dawn providing food for our young Peregrine family. It was a very tender moment to watch as he brought food to Mrs P to lovingly feed her 4 demanding chicks.

He’s now taken over babysitting duties so that she can take a break. Mind you, it’s not a very peaceful one now as they are growing stronger (and more fidgety) by the day. Soon only Mrs P will be large enough to shelter them but thankfully they have got the group huddle down to a fine art!

You wait weeks and weeks for eggs to hatch and then 2 Peregrine chicks emerge within 2 hours of one another! 😂🎉🐣🐣

Poor Mr P is having PTSD flashbacks now as three little ones screech for food. In between re-opening the Abattoir, he’s on the hunt for some paracetamol and some ear defenders 😂🙉 Between the offspring and Mrs P he doesn’t get much peace!

Fingers crossed for P4 to hatch safely 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Baby P2 has safely hatched this morning at around 8.10 am. 🎉

Praise be!

Mrs P has successfully hatched P1 at around 9.47am this morning! 🐣🎉🎉🎉

Fingers crossed now that the other three arrive safely 🙏🏻 🤞🏻

P1 has been named by our media team as Francis (or Frances) in honour of the late Pope 🕊️. Time will tell which spelling we can use for we can be only be certain once they are successfully weighed and ringed. The females will be bigger and heavier than the males.

After last year’s shenanigans with the two females, Mr P is secretly hoping for an all male team 😂🤣

We invite you to join us in @thechurchofengland Collect for today:

God of hosts,

Lord of all life and power,
who through the mighty resurrection of your Son
overcame the old order of sin and death
to make all things new in him:

to whom with you and the Holy Spirit
be praise and honour, glory and might,
now and in all eternity.

“Then as Now”, a short film exploring the enduring significance of the Lord’s Prayer, is now available 👇

https://youtu.be/7zZcsjZmBL4

I encourage you to watch the film and reflect on a prayer, spoken through the centuries by people seeking strength, direction, and peace.
