This morning I will be received into Membership at my new church, and this afternoon I will be inducted as the Minister.

A morning cup of tea in a seventeen year old mug! I know this because I was given it (actually I was given two) the evening before my induction service in The Gathering Place.

It’s sitting on a coaster I have had one week, a fun gift as part of leaving present from Railway Town Baptist Church.

And not forgetting dear old Dibley Baptist Church who took a chance on a NAM nearly 23 years ago, and so gave the opportunity to start writing this story.

A special day and at the same time an ordinary day - I am sure with more cups of tea along the way!!
