It has been….
….a busy summer.
Wedding, Holiday, Wedding, New Wine, Wedding, Soul Survivor, Hope 08 Week……and maybe now..back to work…….yee haa!!
But there has been so much to enjoy and be thankful for.
Being at three weddings and taking part in each of the services has been an amazing privilidge and an honour.
Then having a family holiday in the Isle of Wight was great too. Having never been there before, we really enjoyed our time in the sunshine. I think we actually did enjoy the only sunny week we have had this summer! We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.
Then New Wine was excellent. Our 2 foster children went into respite to give us some time off and we enjoyed a week at New Wine at the Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallett, while staying offsite in a fantastic little cottage in Evercreech.

New Wine is a Christian holiday week and the speakers, worship and experience was really refreshing for us. God was moving in amazing ways and we saw God heal people including watching people’s legs grow!!!
Then there was Soul Survivor. Rain, Mud, rain, wind and then more rain. But, in the midst of that, worshipping God with 11,000 other young people was awesome. Particularly using a song a called Lift You High. An amazing cry of passion and response to God’s goodness went up in the Big Top each time we gathered to worship.

Inspired and full of God, we have now embarked on our latest installment of Hope 08 activities in Shirley.

We have seen hundreds of people come along to see their children facepainted and do the free crafts we have provided while having plenty of opportunity to chat to people about our work through the Bridge and also our faith in God.
God is god and is moving in our lives and in Shirley, Solihull…..COME ON!!!
