As many church-goers reading this blog will be aware it’s not just the high street hit by the ‘recession’ but churches have felt it too. During our last PCC meeting the intent of the diocese to have less clergy in each area was mentioned. Alongside this 40% of the clergy in the diocese of York [...]

Fairtrade Kit Kat – Live!
On January - 29 - 2010 3 COMMENTS
So the Fairtrade Kit Kat has hit the stores and Morrissons in particular have been plugging it with a leaflet at all their checkouts and whilst my initial response wasn’t very positive I thought I’d give Nestle a chance and give their leaflet a read. The lovely people at Nestle (sarcasm) have decided that when [...]

I’ve just sat for the last hour or so watching the live feed from the Apple ‘Come see our latest creation’ event coverage and whilst I have a few blogs in the pipeline (which will appear over the next couple of days) I thought I’d do a round-up post with some thoughts on the Apple [...]

As those of you who are my friend on Facebook or follow me on Twitter will have noticed the last 2 days tweets/status updates have revolved around heat and my lack of. I awoke yesterday morning colder than I had hoped to wake up and putting it down to my inability to tweak my heating [...]
Worship?
On January - 4 - 2010 3 COMMENTS
In the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about the church and how trapped the majority of it has become. The format of church hasn’t changed majorly in the last 25 years at least…it certainly hasn’t changed in the 15 years of church I actually remember. Alongside this I’ve been pondering the topic of worship…I [...]

So it’s 2010…a new year and a new decade has begun (although some would argue the decade bit) and it’s also been a week since I blogged last (and even longer since a proper blog). I had a nice new years eve last night with Jo at Ben and Laura’s lovely new house with some [...]
