It was great to be in Rotherham yesterday seeing the amazing renewal that is taking place at Rotherham Minster through a social supermarket and a revival of choral music.

Remembering all those who have died at work or as a result of their work. Made all the more poignant this year with the news that over 100 health & care workers have died as a result of contracting Covid-19. There's a minutes silence at 11.00 #WorkersMemorialDay

Just part of today's food collection as we help support Rotherham's Food banks and those in our community. We might need a bigger car!

Thinking of and praying for those affected by flooding in our area today.

The flooding in Rotherham has given a rare opportunity to see the medieval Bridge Chapel in water : as it would have been when built and for hundreds years before the new bridge was built. Luckily the chapel hasn’t flooded, yet. #Rotherham
