Ish’s plans and targets for 2023
I was waiting to hear the results from the CT scan before I updated you on this years plans and targets, but my GP has just informed me that I’m not likely to hear much until after my MRI scan in 6 weeks’ time, so ‘no news must be good news’ and I think I can rightfully assume that the brain is getting back to being its crazy self!

I love to explore and discover new ideas, and creative ways of supporting this fantastic ministry. It’s such a privilege to serve the church and to help make worship meaningful and fun for children and families. I hope you’ll find my ideas and recommendations helpful. We normally opt for a real evergreen Christmas tree each year but this time we’ve gone minimalist! Perhaps I was just being lazy, but it seemed to make more sense to buy one of those pretty little jewelled ones with sparkly leaves and bright white lights.…
