Church joys

This morning’s service brought the joy of 3 newcomers - one young man on his own and 2 ladies who were friends. And all 3 stayed on for lunch which, as it happens, was cooked by WelshMan and it was definitely a delicious church lunch.

But we got our timing way off which meant we were rushing to Oxford to get to another service where 3 young ladies we know well were getting baptised. Their testimonies were all very different but all mentioned the trials of growing up in Kurdistan.

The youngest is our Goddaughter. She’s underwater in the photo. What a joy to see her and her big sisters take this step of faith.

It was a treat to catch up with my friend who is the Mother of the 3.
