THIS SUNDAY (1 AUG): WE'RE MEETING NEAR WORCESTER
Worcester, the city that is, not the Oxford college!
As a family, we're just about to go out of the doorourselves and off to' Transform'. This is the main event for our national network of churches, Salt & Light - and it means that there will be NO MEETING AT THE KINGS CENTRE THIS SUNDAY (1st AUGUST).more
Widgets and change
I thought that Lizzie Green was very helpful to us all this morning in talking about change. It's good for us to consider what we need to let go of from the past and what we need to embrace in the present, in order to move forward.more
Love in action
Really enjoyed the inaugural South Oxfordshrie Celebration, gathering the Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage churches. As the old saying goes, we are definitely stronger together and it's was great to gathr to worhsip God together, to pray for couple of initiatives in the area and to hear Rich and Kate speak.more
Ooops
As I said on Sunday, my arm took a bit of a knock a few days ago. As the pain wasn't getting better I took myself off the Abingdon Minor Injuries yesterday where they informed me that I had a minor fracture in a bone in my elbow. For those who like details, it is called a "cheese slice". As it happened in France, this seems very appropriate!

In at the deep end
8:30am, Sunday morning, enjoying a shower. D pops her head into the room to tell me that Steve called and I'm leading the celebration. In at the deep end again. To be honest, I enjoyed it and count it a privilege. It was great to worship God with passion together and to touch God's heart of compassion over the meeting.more
Sunshine!
I was encouraged on Sunday. Admittedly, I often am, but I felt that we are starting to breakthrough in praise more than we have before. Giving time to giving God praise is a key to our lives and it is sustaining to us, and a blessing to God! It helps us to keep our focus on the awesome, amazing God we have the privilege of knowing (and whose limitless love for us we know).more
More snow!
Monday morning, and I'm sturck again by the beauty of the snow as it falls. OK, it's also a bit of a pain, slowing the traffic down, making it hard to get around, and meaning that we're not only cold, but also wet.more
New Baby Jones
We have a new baby daughter, Eleanor Rose Abigail Jones. Born Thursday 4th Feb at 6.35am and weighing 9lbs 6.5oz.
Bev is doing well, and Amber and Lois are delighted. Lois is especially pleased to have been elevated to the rank of 'big sister'!
