Notes for Sunday 5 October 2025

Dear friends,

Last weekend we spent some quality time around Chatham, and the historic Dockyard there was well worth a visit. The picture today is of the 17th century brick building that houses the rope production line. It is half a mile long and in its heyday it would supply a warship with up to 30 miles of rope for rigging and other purposes.

Tomorrow, after the service and during teas I will be offering LOAF goods again in St John. Some Christmas presents have arrived already and several new products to whet your appetite.

God bless,

Dineke van den Bogerd
