I know I am biased, but York really is the best city in the world. It has been a cold, damp, but beautiful evening walk through the city.

Front Line
Our frontline, our whole lives, God’s grace and embrace.
What are we germinating?
What are we growing?
Where’s our frontline?
Being scattered, being the living Word.

I testify to the goodness and faithfulness of God. It doesn’t mean life easy but it means we are held by the One who has the victory.
“All my life you have been faithful,
All my life you have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.”

“…Let go
Let God
Come on, child, grow
Get off the ground
He is not found so low
No!
Wellbeing is not tight and mean
It’s vast expanse embraces all
Arms wide upon a cross
Tomb empty
So from the seesaw fall…”

Coffee in the park this morning. The warmth of summer remains, but the changing colours of the leaves remind us that autumn approaches.
Most things last for a season, and change is a fact of life.

It’s been good to be home and great to be in worship at York Salvation Army, reflecting on the God who heals.

A morning at @salvationarmyuk.bsky.social Territorial Headquarters, sharing the work of homelessness services and how we can better support those impacted by homelessness who present in our spaces. Good people. Passionate responses. Loving others.
