Are we nearly there yet?

Revd Steve Faber: Are we nearly there yet?

“Are we nearly there yet?” is a cry that probably most parents will remember, from bored children in the back seat of the car.

Are we nearly there yet? It’s something we want to ask about the end of the pandemic. It’s still too early to decide that. As I write, some European countries are entering renewed lockdowns, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all increasing restrictions, albeit in a fairly limited way so far. Whether England will move to the Government’s “Plan B” for the winter is yet to be seen. CONTINUE READING ...

YOU ARE UNIQUE!

There has been so much to reflect on that I could share this week, but the most positive news is that our move has happened and we are in the process of setting up our new home. Thank goodness for a big double garage where a lot of boxes have been stored! CONTINUE READING ...

Farewell to Richard and Virginia

Farewell to Richard and Virginia

Our Minister, Richard and his wife Virginia are leaving us on 30th September to take up a new pastorate in Lymington, Hampshire.

Richard led his final service for us on Sunday 19th September. It was a joyful time together. Following the worship, a presentation was made, of a painting by local artist Ann Prater and a Peace Lily plant. Richard had often spoken of ‘leaning on a gate’ in thought and prayer, and the church commissioned a scene of a gate on the local hillside. The fellowship then shared lunch in the Church Hall. The lunch was prepared by Andy Cruickshank, who is chef at the Mug and Muffin in Leamington Road. CONTINUE READING ...

We take our gate everywhere we go!

Dear Friends,

If a gate disappears between fields around Broadway in the next few weeks we can expect the police to come knocking on the door of our new home in Lymington.

We will be among the first suspects. The evidence is undeniable. We take our gate everywhere we go! As you see from the pictures, however, I can be an Adam of Genesis and blame the woman for everything! CONTINUE READING ...

A MINISTRY FOR ‘ANTIQUES!’

A MINISTRY FOR ‘ANTIQUES!’

Read: Samuel 3: 1-10 plus verse 19

This is the story of a small child who heard the voice of God calling in the night, but he didn’t know who it was until an old man told him.

It is a simple story that began a faith journey for Samuel, but it could be our story — YOUR story, because the bible is full of stories in which we can identify ourselves and our personal experiences. CONTINUE READING ...

Wisdom of Scientists

Dear Friends,

I do not doubt the wisdom of scientists, but the top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy and to deal with that we need a spiritual and cultural transformation — and the scientists don’t know how to do that. That is OUR job! CONTINUE READING ...
