ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD OF FRANK CLARKE: On a lovely day in early October, Frank was ordained to the Priesthood by the Bishop of Lynn in Salthouse Church. The Church was packed by members of the Churches in the Benefice, Frank's family members, visiting clergy and members from Frank's previous Church in Rossington. It was a lovely occasion and one that will live in our minds for a long time. We wish Frank God's blessing and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as he begins another phase in his ministry amongst us. Please remember him in your prayers. Salthouse Church members are to be congratulated for their Church as it looked so beautiful on this great day. FROM FRANK: Dear Friends, The sun shone, you sang beautifully, you made the church ring with your responses and we were filled with good things after the Service. Thank you for making my ordination such a wonderful and joyous occasion. It is a day that I will always remember but in looking back to October 4th 2009, I will constantly be reminded of my commitment to God and to you, as I look forward to working with you in His service and to His glory. Every blessing, Frank. THE BODHAM HOUSE GROUP: The Bodham House Group will meet this month on Thursday 5th at 2pm at Quietways, Lower Bodham, the home of Elizabeth Martin.
