The cakes of Wem.

Last night at Wem we said goodbye to Dave Christmas with a few cakes!!. Dave has been part of the congregation at Wem for 25 years and in that time he has served faithfully in many ministries. He is off to live in Worcester with his wife to be Heather. We will miss you Dave.

Chester's last walk in Wem.

Chester and I are both sad this morning. This is our last walk on the farmland near to our house in Wem. This has been a real place of stillness for me and many prayers have gone up from these fields. I will miss them :-(

We shed a few tears today ..

Today was the cremation service for my mum over on the Wirral .It was good to see so many of mums and our family and friends sharing the loss with us .

Thanks to Phil who led the service so well and thanks to all our friends and family who have sent cards , text messages etc . Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated . Thank you :-) x

Anyway life goes on at a hectic pace .We move to Liverpool on Saturday and there is still so much to do ....including a sermon on Sunday !

I may well be offline for a few days whilst I set up the internet connection ...but I will return ... and will probably be typing in a scouse accent :-)

Holiday Sadness...

Whilst on Holiday last week we received the news that mum passed away on the Wednesday . I will miss me mum as I miss me dad .... :-(

The funeral is planned for Next Thursday the 27th

Going away for a few days....

Going on holiday for a week or so . Blog posts may well dry up a little ... But God willing I will return revitalised and ready to keep on blogging .

Another final thank you before I go to all the team involved in HBC this year . I have to say it was one of the best if not the best . The worship this morning in church was wonderful . Thank you to all involved . The Lord bless you all :-)

Day 5 and the end of an era :-(

Today was a happy/sad day . I rejoiced in the work of HBC which as ever was brilliant but it was all tinged with sadness as Phil and I brought to an end what is probably going to be our last Holiday Bible Club together ... I will really miss working with the little fella ;-)

Sounds like HBC is a coming .....

The memory verse for this year at Bible on the beach is .....

Jesus said " Do not be afraid from now on I will make you fishers of men ". So they left their boats and followed him ... Luke 5 ;10& 11 ...

Monday is all about following the leader :-)

BRING ON HBC ;-)
