Yesterday, I had the privilege of preaching at Dibley when the Baptist Church and Methodist Church formally became a Local Ecumenical Partnership with the new name of Dibley Community Church (well, obviously not Dibley in the real world, but you get my drift).  It was a lovely day and a joy-filled service in which the members of the Community Church made solemn promises, and in which we shared Communion (and later a sumptuous buffet).

May God bless the good people of Dibley as they continue to be and speak good news to those they serve.

One of my slides for Sunday's 'introduction to theme' (all age bit)... but what on earth am I exploring?  All will become clear(er) in due course.

Slightly bonkers few days now... today in Birmingham seeing a student at work in placement, tomorrow travelling to Dibley, Saturday preaching in Dibley and Sunday preaching in Railway Town BC.  Many trains, and much sermon writing still to be done!!

Last night we began our Zoom Lent Study group - nine of us was a good number, cold be one or two more next time, but any more and it'd be a bit too big to chat.

One of the questions was, 'if you could draw a picture of God, what would it look like?'.  A little pre-meeting research turned up this website with some fascinating drawings by children... well worth a look see.

What would you draw?  And why?
