The Refuge
It has been a while since we posted on this blog. Sometimes it is hard to come back to something – you feel like you need to write something important or crazy to recapture the attention of the readers. I tried writing something a couple of days ago, but it simply didn’t flow. It was…

Tuning In
Thanks to a tip-off from a friend, I have a new app on my phone. It listens to birdsong and tells me what I am hearing. I love turning it on in the early morning while the birds are in full voice and seeing what it picks up in the railway cutting at the back…

Spider in the Closet
There’s a spider in my closet. We have a cupboard for coats just beside the front door, and a spider has taken residence in the top of it. And it’s still there. I see it when I get something out of the cupboard, but generally I’m getting a coat to rush out of the front…

Boats on the River
A few years ago, I co-authored a book on worship. It sprang from many years delivering music in worship seminars and training events, as well as leading congregations before God. The main author of the book chose to take on the first chapter all about God seeking worshippers. When we came to look at the…

In appreciation of appreciation
A few years ago, I helped to lead a training course for those who felt called to become Worship Leaders in the Methodist Church. These Worship Leaders would be expected to be able to lead any part of the service that wasn’t the sermon, including a kids talk and various kinds of prayers. One of…

Meeting Jesus on the Road
In August Helen was privileged to be able to preach at King’s Church, Birmingham for the first time. She was given the amazing passage of Jesus meeting the disciples on the road to Emmaus – Luke 24:13-35 as her focus. Here is a link to the audio on the King’s Church website: https://www.kingschurchbirmingham.org/audio/kingofthejews/meeting-jesus-on-the-road Photo by…

Jesus in the ordinary
The other day my five-year-old asked me what my favourite bird was. In the past I’d have said something really pretentious like a Golden Oriole. But after thinking a while I decided my favourite bird is a robin. I was really quite surprised at my own answer – why something so common and ordinary? What…

Clearing out the rubbish
Amy recently wrote a blog post about her many encounters with skip lorries. As so often happens for prophets, the things that go on in their lives reflect what God is doing with people around her and further afield. Her experiences tied in with me hearing some teaching about seeking God about lies in our…
