One of the hardest but most fruitful #leadership lessons I know is to surround yourself with people who are better than you. So blessed today by a gifted team of partners in the gospel. To God alone be the glory.

Greek temperatures ☀️ but a very English landscape at #AshtonCourtEstate near Bristol today. Enchanted by the profusion of green winged orchids (anacamptis morio) @greenwingstours.bsky.social @matthewberry.bsky.social

My own two little lights have spent the last six months recycling old candle ends from church into beautiful new candles to grace homes in the parish. Sold like hot cakes! #letyourlightshine

#OTD 2020… It has been such a privilege and a joy to walk with the people of Long Ashton Barrow Gurney and Flax Bourton these last five years. None of us quite knew what was around the corner in March 2020 - but God is good, all the time. To him alone be the glory.

Knowing it has been something of a tough week a dear parishioner has sent me a ‘thought for the day’:

‘Courage is fear that has said its prayers’

Please continue to pray for the staff and patients at our partner, Al Ahli Hospital, in Gaza. 🙏

It continues to operate far beyond its capacity, in deeply challenging circumstances - as these images, taken yesterday, show.

Opened the church at #FlaxBourton this evening for community prayers - bring whatever is on your heart and mind at the start of this year - thanks, sorrows, hopes and longings. 20 people turned up, a handful of whom I have met/seen in church before. The prayerfulness was tangible… #invitational
