It's a Thursday so it's Yelvertoft, Northants. Bible Study/Fellowship Group this morning followed by a Lent lunch (and very nice too) and then a couple of pastoral visits. One to an older lady with a bad back who is waiting for an X-ray. The other was to the sister (living in Rugby) of our oldest lady member (nearly 89) who has been in a care home for several years but more recently in hospital. She has had dementia for some time. Funeral will be next Thursday late morning so the Fellowship Group will give up their meeting to support it.
It's amazing how much older people appreciate even a brief visit. Caring a little costs very little but is good medicine.
Spent the evening on admin trying to catch up with my expenses claims.
Off to London tomorrow morning to advise on constitutional issues for the Theological Commission of the International Congregational Fellowship. One of the Congregational Theologians from South Africa has very recently died in a tragic rafting accident so I have also been busy sending emails all around the world to ICF members and updating the website at www.intercong.org. Praying for his family; funeral is this saturday at 17.00 GMT.
