We hold in our prayers all those involved in the Big Church Festival, near Steyning, following the tragic death of a man attending on Friday. We also pray for all those who were injured in the accident, when a large sign fell over in the wind.
So many people were looking forward to a time of Christian praise, worship and fun. Sadly, because of the accident the festival has understandibly been cancelled. To all involved in the organisation and production of The Big Church Festival, we reach out in Christian love.

Fell into conversation with a woman of Wimbledon who told me she’d taken a six year old to see Paddington the Musical at the Savoy.

Towards the end, the little bear has a speech recommending people learn to love each other, which he had found to be much better and rewarding than being horrible to each other.

When he finished, the six year old stood up in her row in the upper circle and shouted “Well said, Paddington!” and the whole theatre broke into applause.

Vive la Résistance!

Thank you to the men of our church who cooked a wonderful full English breakfast for us this morning. No charge, but donations in aid of Mercy Ships.
