In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

This week I would like to introduce you to Pintas.

Pintas is a three-year-old male dog who loves other dogs and is very friendly. He can walk on the lead and would suit a kind loving family who will continue with his education and provide him with the stable home life he needs.

For more information, please contact the Canil Municipal Funchal in Vasco Gil/Funchal
00351 291773357 or send a message via Facebook to “Lua Katzen auf Madeira.”

As with all societies, the kennel is desperate for additional food, especially puppy and kitten food, and bedding. If can help please contact the numbers above.

As always, your help is appreciated.
