Below is a link to the sermon this morning at St Peter and St John. I was speaking about how to keep on praying when we are tempted to give up. My thoughts in this sermon go hand in hand with the next Blog post (not quite published yet) called 'Don't Fall Out of the... Continue Reading →
I have always loved the verse in the Old Testament book of Zephaniah. Here's how it goes in the Amplified version The Lord your God is in the midst of you a mighty one a Saviour (who saves). He will rejoice over you with joy, He will rest in silent satisfaction and in His love... Continue Reading →
I wrote this for our 'Worship for All'service this morning. Am putting it here for whoever it was that asked me for it.

On Sunday I ate cake for breakfast, lunch, tea and supper! Cake was just about the only thing I ate on Sunday - it was Gran's birthday. How fitting a celebration for someone with life-long love of cake? Once asked by her two grand-children if she could speak any other languages she said 'Yes' very... Continue Reading →
