Church Weekends and Visiting Friends

That rhymes!

Last weekend, I went to Eastbourne with my sending church (St Andrews)

We stayed in a very nice hotel, with full board, where I got lessons in 'how to eat proper-like' (did you know that you are meant to break off little bits of your breadroll, and butter them individually??) from Sarah-Jo (are you spelled with a hyphen?) just in case I'll ever dine with a bishop.

We ate too much and indulged in a lot of liquid worship. In between, we even got some Bible teaching in, delivered by Phil Moon (nothing to do with the Moonies, he assured us) on how to be family, based on Ephesians 3 I think.

Then, on my way back from Crawley, I went the wrong way around the M25 (anti-clockwise) to pick up my very good friend Sandy from near Tonbridge, to take her back up with me to Nottingham for a couple of days. Thanks Phil for lending her to me! We had a lovely time just yakking and putting the world to rights (Sands we never prayed together in the end!), and she experienced college life too - the food, the Morning Prayer etc. AND she liked it! This is Sandy lying on the floor in my flat, looking at a picture on the wall:



And just because I like it so much, this is Luke, who lives in the flat above me, getting into the swing of the stressful, strenuous life that is being a vicar:
