A favorite worship song

There’s lots of great quality worship and praise songs out there and it’s difficult to pick out some particular favorites but Oceans will part has to be one of my current favorite songs. I think I like this so much because the chorus of Oceans will part and nations will come tend to speak to [...]

Countdown to church launch in Abergavenny begins

Tomorrow sees the formal initial stages of church planting in Abergavenny. We have the first interim elders meeting to beginning the planning of the church strategy. Until we have a team of local people who are willing  to be elders the church will be ‘overseen’ by a team from a couple of churches based in [...]

The future of children’s ministry in Abergavenny

Getting children ready for a lifetime in a hard and competitive world is an important task of any parent. The church can also help in this task. It can provide the spiritual growth and maturity that will help the next generation to have confidence and strength to walk in the world without falling into the many [...]

Are we really so out of touch with the excluded?

I’ve been watching with a certain degree of amusement the outcry about the way that Christianity is being portrayed at the moment in Eastenders. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but I don’t have any idea what people are complaining about as I never watch the programme. For me what is of concern [...]

Did churches get bitten by the property bug?

I often wonder how many churches were bitten by the property bug and played the housing boom game and I wonder now how many of those churches are paying the price of making a quick buck. Increasingly I am finding many churches having difficulty finding good quality senior pastors and leaders and a lot of [...]

Relaxed informal worship in Abergavenny

I’m tired of traveling   After spending most of my Sundays traveling to speaking engagements at church all I want to do on a Sunday evening is to take part in some relaxed and informal worship and prayer. Unfortunately I just moved back to Abergavenny and that means having to do a 50 mile or [...]

Sadly I’ve ended the bible college bursary

Now that I’ve been able to end a lot of my voluntary work commitments I can now spend a lot more time on getting involved with groups and networks that are trying to combat and prevent the further marginalisation and attack on the christian faith in the UK.  One of the things I’ve considered, prayed [...]
