Our ordinands joined forces with @christianaiduk this afternoon. Carol singing in grand arcade. #carols #advent #ordinandlife

It was so wonderful to celebrate a belated thanksgiving with our friends on exchange from @yaledivinityschool and @sewaneeseminary last night. We are so thankful for the friendships between our institutions! #family #food #fellowship #thanksgiving #ordinandlife #seminary

This week in our Wednesday night craft club we had a go at lino cutting and creating our own Christmas cards. Many thanks to fellow ordinand @michaeljohnsperring for teaching us. #ordinandlife #westcott #mindfulness #wellbeing #craftclub

Today at Westcott, we remember and pray for the repose of those who died from this house and from the Bishops Hostel, Farnham, during the First World War. Each of them is listed on the Westcott House war memorial. L-R: Revd Guy Browning, Revd Oswin Creighton, Revd Richard Dugdale, Capt. Thomas Hudson, Revd Alan Judd, Capt. Percy Kemp, Lt. Raymond Ledger, 2ndLt. Murray Pound, Revd George Ranking, Revd George Robinson, Capt. Herbert Rowsell, and Revd Cyril Were. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (Jn.15:13) #remembrancesunday #wewillrememberthem

"We will remember them." 12 wire figures crafted by ordinands stand across our organ loft to remind us of the 12 members of this house who lost their lives in WW1. We give thanks for them and continue to pray for God's peace on earth. #remembrance #westcott #greaterlovehasnomanthanthis

Today we celebrated 92 year of worship in this beautiful chapel. Do pray for our community as we continue to worship and to seek to follow God's call here. 'The one who calls us is faithful' #westcott #anglican #ordinandlife #worship

It was great to welcome candidates and their families to our open day today, and what a glorious day it was too! We will be praying as you continue to discern God's call. #Westcott #welcome @thechurchofengland @westcott_house_1881 #HolinessWisdomCompassion #hospitality

A warm welcome is extended to our friends in the CTF for our housewarming on Wednesday! @westminstercollegecambs @ridleyhall @wesleyhousecam @mbi_theology and all whom we can't tag! #hospitality #fellowship #welcome #westcott #formation #friendship

Ordinands at Westcott serve in a variety of attachments, from urban towns and cathedrals to the more rural areas of Cambridge. This picture was taken on one ordinand's commute to St Andrew and St Mary Grantchester! #therealgrantchester #ordinandlife #westcott #ruralchurches #cambridge
