It's been a while. This is a bit of a test to see if anyone is checking this blogspot. If you are then please leave a comment...How often do we hear, "let us pray" in church and use it as a mental trigger to rest our eyes and turn to our thoughts about the roast dinner or something else? How often do we say, "I'll pray for you" but never give it a second thought. How often do we say, "for your

Found this helpful in thinking about Christmas... CHRISTMAS TREESby Willam Schuh [As first appeared in The News-Gazette, Champaign, IL  December 24, 2004] In Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” we meet a character who is so incensed at the thought of others celebrating Christmas that he goes out into the night with the intent to steal the holy day.  As one who did not celebrate the

Hello,Thought you might like to know that I had a meeting with Rangers Steve and Joe at the Visitor's Centre on Monday (not quite the same as the Ranger's from the Lord Of The Rings but I couldn't find a photo of them!). It was a fantastic time of bashing ideas around and coming up with ways forward for some of our ideas. Being able to draw on their wisdom and skills was fantastic. I now know

Hello!We've been thinking a lot about how we respond to God's call for us to look after His creation. We are in a very privileged position here on the Lickey Hills and the beauty of Autumn all around us is a constant reminder of our responsibility to take care of it.We are exploring how we can be 'eco-friendly' as a church. Check out www.ecocongregation.org to look at how we might achieve this.

So, here we are...The first blog posting.I'm really excited to be sharing with you the development of this role within Lickey Church. I don't claim to have all the answers but I hope that as we continue together in 'conversation with the community', we will find ways in which we can serve both the local community and the wider Birmingham community who visit the Lickey Hills.Please pray with us as

The world we live in means that our 'neighbour' is no longer just the people who live around us. Our 'neighbour' could be the person who made the shirt on our back, or the person who produced the coffee we drink, or the person who does not have access to the life-giving drugs we can pick up at the pharmacy. We live in a global world. It is much easier to take, even steal, from an unknown African

I think the church in general have 'kind of' created our own language, a lot of which doesn't really make sense unless you know it. These rambling thoughts are written with the church in mind so if you're reading this and you're not sure what some of the jargon means, email me and I'll try to interpret it!------------------------------------------------There are so many people walking on the
