Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Paul and asking about his training. I’m pleased to
be able to give you a quick update: he’s passed the A320 test and now has a licence in his pilot
licence passport (they exist!) with a stamp from the Civil Aviation Authority saying he’s allowed to
fly an actual plane. This means that phase two of the training can start when he practices flying in
an actual A320 rather than a simulator. We hope this will start sometime in June, and in the
meantime he’s been doing more simulator practice and practical courses like putting out
fires on planes, jumping out of the emergency exit slides and all sorts of other “fun” things! We’ve
both been very grateful for the support and love we’ve felt from the church family. We will keep you
updated.
A £10 challenge update: I have finally plucked up the courage to do a piano concert at Church. This
will be my first ever public recital and already I’m dying with nerves. However! Such is my dedication
to the £10 challenge and the toilet renovation, I’m determined to do my part and raise some money
for the church. Please do join me for a concert followed by tea and cake (I’m looking for cake
donations!) Sunday 23rd June at 4pm; tickets will be £10. Please do invite your friends.
Kirk will be using his £10 challenge to organise a joint quiz night for Castle Street and Histon at
Histon Methodist Church on Saturday 22nd June, 6pm–see the notice elsewhere in this newsletter
for details!
Speaking of the £10 challenge—we are going to have our £10 talent harvest on Sunday 21st July.
If you haven’t given in your money already, this is the service to do it. We will be celebrating all the
wonderful ways we’ve grown together as a church and all the inventive things we’ve done to raise
money for the toilets. Please do let me know what you’ve done so I can include you in the service
and if you have any pictures, send them to me. If you’ve already given in your money—that’s fine,
but please still let me know what you’ve done, I don’t want to miss anyone out. If you’re planning
something after this date, just let me know what you’re doing so I can give it a plug and include you
in the service.
Before I was moved to Jersey, I was the minister at Walsingham Methodist Church in Norfolk.
Walsingham has a special place in my heart and is a magical place. It’s the oldest Methodist
building in East Anglia and one of the oldest in the country. They are celebrating their 230th
anniversary with a special service on Saturday 8th June—see the notice. I will be going so if anyone
wants a lift, let me know and I’ll happily take you.

We are having an Open Manse (hopefully garden as well weather permitting!) on Sunday 20th
August from 2pm. We had a glorious day last year, so please do come again and join in fellowship and friendship with us.  We’d love to see you there.
A group of us have been meeting monthly, wrestling through the Bible in a Year. We’ve been
inspired to ask Professor Judith Lieu to come and lead us in an Old Testament day where we can
bombard her with questions—and hopefully get some answers! All are welcome to this event: you
don’t need to be reading the Bible in a Year, just want to improve your Old testament knowledge.
Come along on Saturday 29th June from 10am–1pm.
With prayers as always
Rev Jenny
