They are here!
It's been an interesting couple of weeks, loads of snow, Sickness, Caleb's now FIVE and we've been helping Steve and Lauren into their new home, having them on the hill has been great.
I;'ve started leading a parenting course for Dad's only on the hill, an amazing programme called strengthening families strengthening communities, we have 13 dad's doing it and it is a really privilege to journey with these men as we learn from each other. Please pray that i will be able to make some good friends.
Working for the local authority has been interesting! please pray as i continue to settle into the two jobs.
As i continue to reflect on the Hill and work and type of church that is needed, I'm so sure that a church needs to be very family oriented. There are some great families that we are meeting who are strong and would gain more strength from a church with helped them function even better together, but obviously there are families who are struggling and a families based church could really offer support in helping them work through the issues. How we do this is mystery still, but please pray as we consider and pray about these issues.
Much Love

Christmas and SNOW!!
We had a great christmas, not as much sleep as i'd have like too!! (babys Hey) but the family time was great, we had two weddings, a funeral, a carol service in the pub, gave out 5 christmas hampers to families on estate and took some sweets and buiscuit into local sure start centres to say thank you for all they do for local families.
We also had some good fmaily time with the Kids and Alison's fmaily and then my family.
The Carol service was great and a think really helped our firendship with the pub ( it was amazing to be drinking beer inbetween singing carols, not very spirtual i know but still very cool)
On monday night i start co leading a parenting course for Dads on the hill, please pray that this goes well,
Steve and Lauren are moving next week so it's all go.
And i had a snow ball fight with ALison and the kids.
I just took Caleb to school he's one of 4!!! in his class today.
