snowed off

Hi all, saddly our Pub carol service was snowed off last night, but we're back on, on wednesday, so please pray it takes place and that it's a great time.

What a great (and tiring week)

So must churches have a busy week and at 123 we're the same.
Today Alison is putting up two interactive Christmas boards in 2 childrens centres.
Tomorrow I'm taking the funeral of a lovely man, doing an assembly at the secondary school and doing the last session on dads course. Wednesday for our team meeting we're going around to some families we know to do carol singing. Thursday am Alison and steve are leading last delight ( self esteem) on thursday night we' re having our church gathering for families, really excited about this. Fri- prep for sat which is the pub carol service. Again what an opportunity. Sun steve and I are both preaching at different church Monday we collapse !!

( and we've got 20 plants to take around to families of funerals I've taken over the year!!)

Please pray because these are all exciting opportunities to love people and to communicate Jesus!

Let it snow let sn...... Actually let it stop

Ok So I like a snow ball fight as much as the next man who still thinks he's a kid!! But honestly kids of school for three and a half days most of my meetings and times to hook up with people put of enough!! However the snow has meant I've had to move around a little slower!! Which means you notice more about the houses and people around you, as I dash around at high speed normally slowing down has helped me see more.
