|
|
CHADWELL HEATH BAPTIST 9th APRIL 2006I am always delighted to be able to assist with the preaching whilst the Pastor takes a well earnt rest this time in the Canary Islands. Although the sermon was based on Matthew 21 Palm Sunday theme I tried to present it in a slightly different way, which seemed to go down well amongst the many friends I have acculalated over the years of being invited here to preach. |
|
|
|
ST. PATRICK'S BARKING. 4th APRIL 2006 Although I have preached here a few times this was my first visit to their midweek fellowship meeting. Those attending were a mixture of church people and guests. I spoke about My Faith whilst in the Police, which was well received. |
|
|
ST. CHAD'S 2nd April 2006One of my rare talks on home soil! This was An All Age Service based on The Rich Young Ruler & making the right choice who and what to follow. Had a good time with a setting the scene competition with the youngsters followed by an all age talk. Thank you all those who spoke to me afterwards and encouraged me. |

Amongst the men assembled was David who was due to get married at the church in a few hours. Now that's what I call commitment! I was greatly encouraged by the response and an invite to return was given. |
|
|
ST. JOHN'S WINDLESHAM 18th MARCHMy first visit to this lovely rural church just outside Bagshot. I shared my original testimony with a group of men at a CVM Breakfast. I really enjoy doing these as a Full Traditional English Breakfast is the normal feast, I was not disappointed! |
|
|
CANVEY BAPTIST CHURCH 5th MARCHThis seems to be an annual visit, again accompained by John Kennett and some band members. It was a special service in many ways, especially as their new Pastor, Jane had just officially been inaugarated. I am sure that she will lead the church onward with renewed enthusiasm and vigour. Looking forward to next years visit! |
|

ST. PATRICK'S BARKING. 9th OCT 2005 My first visit to preach at St. Patrick's Barking. A very unusual looking building from the outside, similar to some Underground Stations in design.

|
|
|

URC ROMFORD 27th SEPT 2005Another of my regular speaking engagements. This was my 12th yearly visit to the Ladies Fellowship Meeting. It was good to see that they are still getting a good number attending, whereas many such meetings seem to be folding due to lack of support. The theme was Harvest and I used a modified talk on The Weather Report as listed in my sermons page. I was greatly encouraged by the response to my talk. |
|
|

Albany Road Full Gospel Church 20th Sept 2005 Normally a once a year visit but either they are desperate for speakers or they like me as my second this year! A new Pastor has been inducted and I pray that this small but friendly fellowship will grow over the coming year. |
|
|
Ferring CVM 12th Sept 2005It is always a pleasure to be invited back somewhere, especially when it's the lovely village of Ferring. Jane & Ian once again opened up their beautiful cottage for the men of the village to come and hear my talk on My Faith & My Police Service. Even though Ian has a big lounge it was nearly standing room only and a great night was had by all. Well done Jane & Ian for your commitment to the Lord. |
