Well the move is happening next week. As you might expect it couldn’t be straight forward so it is more stressful than needs be but we will get there in the end. As it’s become harder to see out of the windows due to the number of boxes packed and stacked on the floor I’ve [...]

Reflections
Posted in Church, Fatfield, Festivals, Gateshead, Spirituality on December 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I realise it is a little predictable to be in reflection mode at this time of year, but sometimes (as my therapist said this year) it’s ok to be predictable.
I guess it would be fair to say this year has been a hard year, coloured by so many changes and uncertainties that in the end [...]
St Edmund’s

Today was the last time I will preach at St Edmund’s. It wasn’t hugely emotional mainly because we weren’t making a big deal of it and I’ve had a bug all week so spent most of the time trying not to have a coughing fit in the middle of it. Anyway there were a few things that [...]

Catherine and Shamilah who have spent 2 years researching the project came and interviewed me about a year ago now for a Christian Youth Workers experience and then came and asked if they could interview some of the [...]
The Move

And so it’s offical the move was announced yesterday. As from September I will become St George’s Fatfield’s new pioneer minister. Haven’t heard how the news went down at Fatfield yet but it was hard announcing it here in Gateshead. In the end wrote a statement I could read rather than just talk and if [...]
