A new season




A new season is beginning on the Plot. It has been a relatively dry Winter but very cold over the past few weeks which has slowed everything down. We have had good positive responses from two funders and we have decided to go ahead with appointing a part-time horticulturally trained manager to run the project. We have interviews next Friday (17th March). We are also planning a service of blessing (traditionally called Rogation) on May 24th 7p.m. with Bishop Cyril, hope that you can come to the Plot and thank God for 'giving us the increase.'
Scott is doing well and he and his partner Allison are enjoying the new experience of being a Christian couple. They are becoming more involved in Conisburgh church. Scott is also seeing his son Jamie on a regular basis, something that would have been inconceivable just a few months ago. The pictures show him in our greenhouse (my father's old one - so a bit nostalgic for me) planting the first seeds of 2006.

Hope Centre continues to build a family atmsophere. Marion and her team have worked hard to make the Centre a loving, warm and caring place.
