The Archdeacon expressed thanks to Helsinki and Stockholm who have been helping Riga financially, and asked the synod to keep this chaplaincy in their prayers. Riga is part of our Deanery. This was used to finish any outstanding discussions and to evaluate the Synod. Everyone felt that the synod had been informative and that all the representatives learned a lot by meeting and talking to each other. If you have any ideas for themes or comments on these suggestions then let me know, as I'm off to Stockholm for the Deanery Standing Committee meeting at the end of April.
Accommodation ranges from camping to moderately priced hotels.
Let us cast aside the hurts That rankle in the heart. Let us mend old quarrels And make another start. Forgiving the old grudges And bitter words once 8aid, Decide to fill your life with love And happiness instead. Harbouring resentment Destroys our peace of mind, We find our views distorted Unloving and unkind. That oonees like fresh spring rain, Blessing all within its reach when we begin again.
