So, apologies for the lack of blogging, but I’ve been about my Father’s business! Things are progressing well on the northern front! People are responsing well to our ministry in the corps and we’re getting more and more well known in the town. Can’t go out with out a wee kid shouting “Hello Captain Andrew!” … More From the Northern Front….
So, another part of our ministry, which is another area completely new to me, is work in schools. We actively take part in school life, leading assemblies in all four primary schools and at the secondary school. This, of course, feeds into the kids work at the corps very well. There are two of our … More Schools
Just in case you’re wondering, no, I haven’t backslidden! Each Saturday night at 10pm, when your average Corps Officer is putting up his feet, watching telly, tinkering with his/her sermon, or attending a nice festival, Wick Corps prefers their corps officers to be in the pub. Each week I set off with my ‘trusty’ War … More My weekly pub-crawl
This week I have witnessed nothing short of miraculous…a wonder. It was something I’d been told about, but never quite believed it. Our corps have an incredible children and youth ministry to kids at Primary school age and the beginning of secondary school. Not only are we, as officers, actively invoved in chaplaincy at all … More Our Youth Work
Finally got sorted out with broadband at home and good to be feeling connected with the world again! Been having to take trips to the library to check emails etc, so glad thats all over. Did I mention that the last mainland revival in Britain took place at Wick Corps? Between the corps and the … More The Wick Salvation Army/Baptist Revival 1921
I am sure, like me, you’ve heard of the ‘first 100 days’ as being significant for new Prime Ministers etc. Well, I suppose they are sort of like that too for a corps officer! Having started work last Thursday in our new command, things are already beginning to build up steam. We are nearing the … More The first 100?
We’ve arrived in Wick, got a bit unpacked and started work today. No internet as yet at home, so won’t be regular updates until that arrives. Wonderful to be back ‘home’ !!!
We’re in the last packing days here at Wick…the last of the boxes are being stuffed with…stuff. Soon, we’ll be travelling to the opposite end of the country to begin our new appointment. Its Ben’s birthday this week, so we had a wee party today for a few of his friends from school to give … More Gone but still here
It is hard to believe, sitting here right now, that the Pill chapter is almost over (still 4 days in command!). We had a good meeting this morning, and it wasn’t as difficult as I though. I think I moved into that mode that you go into when you’re doing things like funerals…you know, the … More Farewell Sunday!
Hey…I did warn that blogs would be few and far between until we moved to Wick…but we’ve also just come back from 12 days furlough in sunny (HAHAHA) Cornwall. Well, the sun did shine for a few days, but the gales and torrential rain were the norm! Our campsite was perched on the edge of … More Back…for a sec
