So another exciting year is about to begin but there are a couple of major decisions that I will need to make as the year progresses. On reaching 70 in August my wonderful 12 years spent as the Chichester Cathedral Missioner Deacon will come to an end as it will be time for me to retire. Of course I will be praying about obtaining a PTO (permission to officiate license) which will allow me to carry on preaching, but this decision will ultimately be made by the Bishop and the Dean. And on reaching 50 fantastic years of national travelling musical ministry I will be assessing if that too should…

2 words can sum up last night’s concert in Bognor to pray for my good friend Tom Mills (who is seriously ill) and to help support his family…. ‘very special.’ The Church building was nicely full of all ages and I managed to squeeze in about 25 of my most ‘sing-a-long-able’ songs in just over the hour. My daughter Suzy taught the actions to some of the songs whilst some of the children including my grandson Kobie came out and assisted her. It was like turning the clock back 20 or 30 years but not in a nostalgic way, in a praising way that I feel God really enjoyed along…

Don’t forget everyone, this Saturday (8th) I will be doing a special concert to help support Tom and Fiona Mills and their family as my good friend Tom is suffering severe cancer. It will be held at Bognor Baptist Church (Victoria Drive) from 7.30-8.30pm and will be all fun and all praise and suitable for both adults and all ages of children. It will be free but an offering will be taken to help financially support the Mills family. I’m also going to invite our Suzy along to teach us some of the fun actions that go with the songs! Also to let you know that the Scripture Song Concert…

2019…Here we come! As I wind down after a very exciting and busy year of travelling, concerts, praise parties and meeting lovely people, I am now really looking forward to see what different adventures 2019 hold! Already I am planning to be in Chichester in January, Southampton in February, Crawley, Enfield and Bishop Auckland in March, at the Spring Harvests in Minehead, Skegness and Harrogate in April, Swindon and Alfold in May and Bristol in June. Really excited! But of course there is still room for plenty more visits to Churches up and down the country on weeknights or weekends. Everything I am doing nowadays I’ve made suitable for all…

The tour this week begins on Thursday November 22nd at the New life Church in Crewe where I will be doing a Praise Party for the young children at 6.00pm followed by the new ‘History of Ishmael’ double concert at 7.30pm. On Friday I will be at the Stafford Elim Christian Centre for the ‘Scripture Song’ concert beginning at 7.30pm Then over the weekend I will be at the Holy Trinity Church in Shrewsbury on Saturday for a Praise Party for the younger children at 3.00pm followed by the ‘Scripture Song’ concert at 6.30pm.
