FIONA’S ORDINATION
Here is the latest information from the
Diocese of Exeter about the livestreaming:

YouTube livestream link for the ordination service
on Saturday:

Ordination of priests - 3pm:

si=5jO2ICOwxq7CtG6m

Due to the vagaries of the WiFi network and
weather, occasionally livestreams are interrupted -
if this happens, we will first attempt to reconnect
via link provided. If this is not possible, we will try
to re-establish the stream via our main channel
here:
https://www.youtube.com/@CofEDevon/streams
In the event the internet at the cathedral is not
stable enough to support an uninterrupted stream,
we will prioritise securing a recording of the
service offline, then provide a link as soon as
possible after the service.

MAJOR ELECTRICAL FAULT
AFFECTING THE PARISH CENTRE
This electrical fault first occurred last Thursday.
Our electrician Mark attended and could find no
faults in the parish centre so I asked Rhona to call
the National Grid who are permitted to access the
main connection (I was dealing with a puncture in
a farmyard). The newly installed 80 amp fuses
failed three times, which means there is a fault in
the main cable connection between the main inlet
in the church foyer and the inlet into the parish
centre. Horror story as the whole cable is
underground. The upshot is this:
The national grid engineer is co-ordinating with
Mark to see if it would be possible for them to
install a new supply to the parish centre along a
different route and if this is not possible, Mark
would have to run an external cable on the
building from the inlet point. We must also consult
the Diocese. Thank goodness the church supply is
working. We have no idea of the cost yet, but a
similar challenge at the Nuffield Hospital cost
£26,000. Let us hope we can find a cheaper
solution. As we speak, Rhona is hot on the trail of
any potential grant aid.

Has anyone the time to support her in this
search? We will be losing money with hiring
cancellations.

SCAFFOLDING
Ann and Pippa who walk their dogs in the
churchyard reported a nuisance visit on Sunday.
A female lookout was in position while her two
male teenage friends climbed all over our
scaffolding. The police were called and a log
number given, but nothing more has been reported.

URINAL CHALLENGES
We hope our gentlemen have not been too
inconvenienced with our urinals not working
correctly. The spare part is expected on Friday.

CLEARING UP AFTER DHS SUMMER CONCERT
DHS for boys attended the day after their concert
to stack chairs, tidy up and load all musical
instruments and equipment in a van to be delivered
back to school. It is quite a process and cannot be
completed following the concert as parents want to
take their children home and the staff are not paid
overtime!

CITY COLLEGE SUMMER FESTIVAL
11 am to 1.30 pm 24th June
Wednesday was the culmination of weeks of hard
work by the Skills Development Team led by Mike
Dugdale. Parents were treated to a wonderful show
of drama, dance and a great many musical
performances. There were craft stalls all around
the church not to mention the photograph booth
and refreshments.
It was an exceedingly hot day and a great time was
had by all, especially the outdoor sponge throwing!
These young adults have a variety of life
challenges to overcome, from extreme to almost
unnoticeable. The skills development staff are
amazing.

UKRAINE UPDATE
Tough week for troops in Donetsk
On Sunday night eight men were shelled on the
front line. The HQ went up with everything AND
everyone in it. Olena sent in requests early
Monday mornjng. The list was published to which
generous PUMA follwers have readily responded.
One large pallet has been prepared already. I
believe more pallets will go on the lorry (2nd
week July).
The warehouse us filling up well. This week I have
been handed four lovely colourful bed jackets for
Ukraine & I shall deliver them next week with
two new blankets.
