This Sunday!

This Sunday I am involved in two services that will be very different! On Sunday morning I will be at Pleck Methodist Church (my own church) taking a family service and we will be having it cafe style - I am looking at using the venerable bead idea from the Methodist Church website - I have one here I made earlier and I have produced a leaflet to go with it for members to take away. I found it quite interesting that the last time we did a service in this style the people who seemed most appreciative were the older ones.
In the evening I will be going to Bethesda Chapel in Witton Lane, Hill Top, West Bromwich which is where I think my experience of Christian things began at the age of four when I started going to Sunday School there. It will be 50 years in June since I started going there and it has been a really great thrill to go back there after all these years. I am hoping my wife will be able to get off work early so he can come to and then we can sing as well as just preach.

Midsummer Madness

I am just sitting here on a day between the longest day and midsummer day and wondering where is the summer? It has been more like a midwitner day today in fact I am fairly sure the shortest day in 2006 was warmer and drier than today has been.
Got a busy day on Sunday as I am preaching morning and evening - the evening is at one of the churrches in out circuit at Aldridge. The morning service is at the Bethesda Chapel in Hill Top, West Bromwich where I last went 39 years ago having gone there to Sunday School for ten years. As you can imagine I am looking forward to it but quite nervous too.
