Just returned from a few days ‘holiday’ in Guernsey. To help me relax I did 2 assemblies, a ‘when the road is rough and steep’ concert, a morning Q & A on children’s worship, a preach Sunday morning and a praise party on the Sunday afternoon.

Just a reminder that we are available to come and share some honest (but…
