Josie to become a licenced Reader

In a welcome break from the pandemic, it is good to be able to report that church member, Josie Foster, is to become a licenced Reader at a remote ceremony on 3rd October 2020 in Exeter. She has worked very hard to attain this role, which will allow her to lead church services, and we warmly congratulate her on this achievement.

In normal times, congregation members would have wanted to join her at the ceremony but it will be live-streamed on Exeter Cathedral's Facebook page. Josie has let us have the link to the service and says that we are welcome to watch online. The link is given below.

Josie says that the formalities begin at 1:45pm but she not sure what time the streaming will start. The actual service is from 2:00pm.

Congratulations, Josie!

On Saturday 3rd October 2020, St Paul's Church member, Josie Foster, became a licenced Reader at a service held at Exeter Cathedral.

Covid-19 restrictions meant that only a few people could attend the service in support of the, approximately, twelve candidates and those who did had to be socially distanced.The service was live-streamed on the cathedral's Facebook page, though, allowing others from the candidates' home churches to watch.

The service  started at 2pm with the licencing taking place from around 2:40pm, and Josie was the first to be called. It was a dignified service and included Holy Communion, in the form of bread only, being offered to all present. It was a moment of joy and recognition of the hard work and dedication of the candidates involved who will now be able to return to their churches and lead services.

If you missed the service and would like to watch it, the link to the recorded version is available on the link below:
