I love to worship! This is not a surprising statement if you think about it as God created us to worship Him. I have recently reread a book by Darlene Zcheche entitled ‘Extravagant Worship’ She says that ‘Our worship pleases the Lord. There is a real strength when believers bring a corporate offering of praise to God in our church’. Corporate worship can be so powerful!
Hi from Peter (I usually say from your Curate but I have now finished the study required, and have been sent a different licence by Bishop Colin.)

I recently went on a road trip to Scotland with my daughter, Daisy. We stopped for a coffee a few hours north and thought we would look for some new music to listen to as we drove.

Christian festivals have a way of creeping up on us unawares. This year, the turn of Lent made itself uncomfortably felt as friends declared on Wednesday that they would be back online after Easter. That made me think. What had I given up for Lent? Was I supposed to? What does the Bible say about Lent? (It does not – in so many words).
