Theses roadshows are open to anyone but are especially useful for churches at the beginning of their Eco Church journey.

Mike Peters Rescue Me YouTube video by Roger Morris

I am so saddened by the death of Mike Peters - and I have been playing non-stop Alarm songs ever since the news broke. I think - as this clip reminds me - that I got my philosophy about music (being by the people, for the people, and of the people) from him. #blazeofglory

A picture of a coffee machine, some coffee, and a sign saying "Enjoy a lovely cup of coffee from all at St Andrew's Church Colne Engaine"

I was so pleased to see this at Colne Engaine School yesterday. I often say that, if I was a vicar with a church school, then I would ask the PCC to provide good coffee for the school staff room and also take out a subscription for iSingPop Classroom Worship. Teachers deserve good coffee!

It is done. I am an ex X'er.

Reading Hosea this morning, I am reminded of this wonderful sketch by Cody F Miller (www.codyfmiller.com). Cody said to me, "I believe the story of Hosea and Gomer is a profound illustration that God will never stop pursuing us, however deep the pit, however dark the shadows, He’s seen it all."

Diolch to All Saints CIW Primary for recording the Lord's Prayer yn Gymraeg!

Have you twinned your loo?

It was devastating to hear of the plight of African cattle farmers as well as how, after months of no rain, when the rain finally comes there are no trees or vegetation to slow the water's progress as surging floods destroy villages and communities.
