I shamelessly stole this idea. I saw it on the wall of my friend’s church. I am shameless! 400 twinkly lights from B&Q. A handful of tie-wraps and a cat. OK, perhaps you don’t need the cat. Perhaps.
Play Church with Toddlers
Nov 14
This is an idea I have shamelessly stolen from @revleahvs. Play is such an important part of learning. One Sunday night I watched a ten year old from Holy Nativity put her arms up in the air and recount the words of invitation I use at the eucharist. We learn through playing. So we
A Creative’s Lament
Jun 11
I inherited a little bit of money so I am awaiting the delivery of a new camera. I’ve been into photography for about 12-13 years now. I have various equipment but I predominantly use a Canon DSLR. As I sit here I realise that I’m going to have to relearn a lot of what I

Sanctum – A Gathering for Emerging Sacramental Groups
May 18
A few of us who are involved in Sacramental Alt Worship/Emerging Church/Fresh Expressions in the UK have been talking and we think that there is a need for a space for us to cross pollinate and dream dreams.

Here’s something original that I’ve written. It isn’t meant to be read, it is meant to be orated by someone with a strong Yorkshire accent – Me. If all goes to plan, I will be doing that very thing at this moment in time in church. Hope you like it. It was the end of

Creativity, Enjoying the Journey and Neil Gaiman
Oct 18
This is a video that everyone on earth should watch at least once. Most people should watch it often. When I graduated the first time I couldn’t even tell you who spoke to us, let alone what they spoke about. It certainly didn’t inspire me to go and live life and enjoy the journey. Needless
