Knowing Me Knowing You

Thought Ben and Lincoln did a great job Sunday morning at Church advertising the next Unique event - thanks for the singing guys!

Just wanted to remind you that this Saturday (4-7pm) is our

Mamma Mia event at the Kerith Centre. Tickets are £3 for the refreshments - popcorn, sweets drinks..and a tub of ice cream in the interval :)

We'll be watching the Mamma Mia singalong DVD together.

It's not too late to buy tickets - please drop into the Kerith Centre or call Val or Debbie at reception to put some tickets by for you. Especially if you are thinking of bringing a group - we want enough ice creams for us all!

I know that I often say people's "no's" for them - so if you've also been meaning to ask some friends along, do it today!

The event is pure fun and friendship - a great and easy way of being with old and new friends. Saturday's event will also be the first opportunity to buy your tickets for Real, the Unique Conference on July 3rd. So come prepared to be one of the first to book in! Kim Hoelterhoff will be sharing the conference teaching with me; and she will also be with us at Mamma Mia ,so come and say hi to her.

It's a beautiful day and I have an unexpected day off - God's gift to my sanity I reckon! I'm off to pick up the final version of the Real invitation - can't wait! It'll be off to the printers later today ready for Saturday. Then I'll be phoning family, friends and work colleagues inviting them to a really great event happening this Saturday!
Remember to buy your tickets - see you there x

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story: Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come! Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know...

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak ...

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!) Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and ca...
