Today is the first of December, which means the first day of Advent! Waking up this morning there was frost everywhere, on my way to an appointment it snowed every so slightly and it definitely feels like the festive season is here! Logging into socials (usually the first thing I do each day, so bad…
It is insane how far my family and I have come in the last few years. Three and a half years ago, pre-pandemic, we had just moved into our beautiful new house, ready to start our next chapter as a married couple with one on the way. Then Covid-19 hit, we went into lockdown and…
A few weeks ago I wrote about being a bit deflated post summer having lost touch with my habits, but roll on a couple of months and I’m in a totally different headspace. How? Rather than focusing on all the things I haven’t done, I looked at the small little things I can go day…
The last couple of weeks have been quite difficult hearing the news coming from Israel and Palestine, and the knock on effects elsewhere in the world, we are really praying for peace. Being faced by these horrific events, Archbishop Justin Welby puts into words what is so hard to express and turns us to prayer.…
Last week we started our Creation To Christ series that will take us to the end of the year and I what I wanted to make clear is that it is OK to have questions. As we start a new year and start some new things, including another Disciple Making course, we are starting from…
In last week’s blog I was quite candid about how hectic life has been over the summer and how unprepared I am to run head first into the rest of the year. I think a part of this has been down to feeling out of sync with what God had put on my heart for…
I don’t know about anyone else but I feel like this year has kicked my butt a little bit and I’m in need of a hard reset. Yes the pandemic and the lockdowns were hard, no disputing that, but for me personally, juggling two jobs, a toddler and general life has taken quite a lot…
So last week the family and I had the luxury of being able to go to Los Angeles for the week. No this isn’t a brag; we had a voucher from Covid and it wouldn’t be extended so had to use it up. LA was one of the places that meant the whole voucher could…
I was doing a Peloton workout last week and rather than going hard like I usually do, I was really tired so did a Recovery Ride. To do something to move my body, but not as intensely as usual. The instructor, one of my faves, Ally Love introduced the class by talking about the power…
Last week was our first week of Summer Sundays; throughout August we have a more relaxed style of church as our core family members take holidays, relax and recharge over the summer. During these Sunday’s we’ll be looking over the book of Psalms. So what are the Psalms about and why ae they so important…
At the beginning of the year a few of us trained on the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) and each month, we meet as a group to continue the journey together and keep each other accountable. When we met this week, we shared encouragements as usual and then went on to watch a documentary called Ordinary…
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it…
So this week marks the last week of the Yombe family being with us officiall as part of our church family. And it’s most definitely bitter sweet. Bitter because they will be missed so much by us all. Sweet because it is a new adventure they’re about to embark on, and still close enough in…
The last couple of weeks have been hectic! You may tell by the lack of blog and general comms. The last couple of weeks have been a hard slog. I think the majority of our church family can agree that they have had a similar feeling. But something I have found myself praying for this…
We kicked off 2023 with Disciple Making Training where a small group of us learnt how to become more confident in our ability, no matter how well we know Scripture or anything else for that matter, to help others in their discipleship journey. One of the main things that has cone out of that training…
