musings on leadership in ministry
I’ve just realised that I didn’t let you all know how the Parkrun went! As you can see, it was a nice morning for a run, although it had been pretty wet overnight so there were lots of puddles! I usually woudn’t mind the mud but I had on my very white new trainers… not Read More …
Yesterday I wrote about running alone and how parkrun might give people like the chance to ‘run alone together’ (as Leo said in his comment). John Orr took the thought and expanded it to church.

Last night I reached my fundraising target of £1,000 for Christian Aid. I’m absolutely amazed at the generosity of people and their support throughout my training. Thank you so much!
