Schools

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

My weekly pub-crawl

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.

I think I moved into that mode that you go into when you’re doing things like funerals…you know, the … More Farewell Sunday!

Back…for a sec

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
