As we prepare for Advent, the team behind the Diocese of Salisbury X account has decided to withdraw from the platform, as have its three bishops @BishopSarum, @BishSherborne and @RevAndrewRumsey. We explain why below.

Pupils from the village First School have made a Poppy Cross as a centrepiece for our Commemorations on Sunday. Some of them also wrote poetry reflecting on the significance of Poppies. #Dorset @DioSalisbury @bishsherborne @bishopsarum

It's an old text but still valuable, I think. Welcoming children to the sacrament can only increase God's blessing to us all.
Grateful for this excellent material, which I stumbled across whilst purchasing gifts for our most recent confirmation candidates, as we look to introduce this @alexparkparish @bishopsarum
