This Week

During the past week I have been taking part in a "Holiday at Home" programme in Market Harborough.  This is primarily a social programme but it offers a link with Christians and opportunity to share some of the good news of salvation and life in Christ.

The programme was spearheaded by the Rev Brian Kennard (a former associate evangelist of our and now the local Methodist Minister) and is backed by Churches Together in Harborough.  We offered morning activities over four days plus a day outing.  My role was taking two sessions on internet issues, working with a friend on leading a singalong session and doing one of the "Light Bite" God spots.  Two ladies spoke with me specifically about seeking after God, and a third indicated something similar.  Other than that I was happy to act as a general helper.  Pictures are on the right of this page.  Click any to enlarge

Saturday 21st Doreen and I are back in Sussex for the wedding of one young woman who grew up in our church at Herstmonceux.  Rachel is the sister of  the young man whose funeral I conducted a couple of years ago after he died in a tragic accident.  It will be good to share with the family on a happier occasion.
