For me the things that help to remind me that I am in the right place and doing the right job are:

  • The Unanimous decision of three different church meetings, in two different locations commending and calling me into ministry.
  • The continuing conviction that the message of Jesus can change and impact peoples lives, even though the wrapping we sometimes put around the message is poor.
  • And the way in Morecambe, five years have seen various people come to understand the message in a new way, and the way in which the core group of the evening service have embraced the new approach.

I was amazed to read this latest page on your ‘blog’! As a relative newcomer to the church,I can assure you that you’re in the right job! God has given you a unique gift – if I could put my finger on it I would – but I know that in our difficult move from the Methodist Church to Stanley Road Baptist, God used YOU personally in so many ways.
