I wrote this for our 'Worship for All'service this morning. Am putting it here for whoever it was that asked me for it. It was written in the style of a Bob Hartman poem - to be read dramatically - I used in a service entitled 'Finding God in Unexpected Places'. Jacob and his brother... Continue Reading →

This morning I read two brilliant blog posts on church. The first one was by Philip Yancey advocating the strengths of small churches over large ones (and making some accurate observations about families along the way) and the second one was by blogger Rachel Held Evans on why the church should stop trying to be...

On Wednesday evening as part of our Lent course, a group of us from church studied a passage from Romans 12: 9-21. In the CEV the chapter is entitled 'How to live the new life of Love'.
