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

About Me
- Richard S
- Richard is a often loud and speaks long before he thinks. He is a dad of three and struggles to remember he is an adult rather than a child. He is married to Alison and they are part time church leaders in place called Harold Hill. They feel passionately called to serve those on the margins of society. Richard is a Baptist minister, and with the other part of his working week he is a parenting coach. Sky Pilot is the cockney Rhyming slang for church minister...Rich is a baptist minister. These blogs only represent Richard's view at the time of writing.. in all likelihood he has changed them already!
