A final word from John Stott

Wasn't it fitting that 87-year old John Stott, in his final address at the Keswick Convention before retiring from public ministry, encouraged his hearers to 'become more like Christ'?

Our own church aim, that people commit to and become more like Jesus, is as current as it ever was.

Keeping are eyes on Him

I read a great quote today, I was doing some early thinking for a sermon subject I have later in the summer about 'keeping spiritually fresh' and came across this thought by Spurgeon.

It is to do with keeping our eyes on Jesus, rather than focusing on feelings or spiritual experience:


'I looked at Christ and the dove of peace flew into my heart; I looked at the dove and it flew away.'

Lots of answers to prayer

I felt that there were lots of answers to prayer in the church meeting last night. If any of you weren't there you will want to know that the vote for Vic was unanimous.

Good doing church with you all.
