Our new arrival

This week, both parenting courses went well and Alison and i have had some time to spend with some of our families individually as well. The biggest influence on our time this week as been our new Dog!! we have an 9 week old choc lab. I know crazy, but we've always wanted a dog and with the amazing garden etc we though it was time.I also need thing to stop me working all hours under the sun. (we'd saved some the money shoebury had so generously given us when we left.) So Rocky arrived on monday.

Next week we have our first gathering of 2011, which is to be a family games night next thursday night, loosely based on the theme of LOVE. We will be using the LOVE IS passage from 1 Cor 13 to do some informal teaching but our main aim is to build community and help people get to know each, we don't know to have gathering were people are strangers.

On a very practical note, could you pray for a book keeper for our money group. the person who is done it for the last two years has done a great job, but they now need to hand it over to someone else. This is a really important role and so we'd value your prayer about this.

Love and Prayers
