Christmas News Letter

For some of our friends this year, wishing them a happy Christmas seems insensitive, and the phrase ‘seasons greetings’ always seems a little bland. So we will instead pray that God would bless you all as we celebrate the Birth of Jesus - and that you would find Him to be all that you need during this season.

Latest update

Thanks to everyone who has been praying.
We still haven't heard back from the DWP about moving to PIP.

We managed to get some help filling in the forms - which was a small miracle in itself. We manage to get the forms in with a couple of days to spare, and within a week had a phone call to ask if they could do a home assessment. This was a nerve wracking experience - but I had a nice assessor, who didn't seem to mind that the house was a building site! That was nearly three weeks ago and we're still waiting to hear if the application has been successful. Maybe this week? Or the week after? We don't know.

Prayer Update - We could do with some!

We have a lot going on at the minute.

The view from our
kitchen door today

We have the builders in - we’ve scrimped and saved for many years, and managed to get a gift towards some much needed building work to make our house more accessible for Kay - this includes a downstairs accessible shower/loo, and a new kitchen more suitable to Kay’s needs (Mind you - it was an original 1960’s blue tiled monstrosity!)

Camps Are Over....

Well, the camps are over for another year....
So much hard work before the camps, all gone in such a short space of time!

We Were Going To be So Good...

We were going to update before and after Spring Harvest - but time ran away again!

We were due to do Minehead 2 and Skegness for Spring Harvest, but due to the wife of one of our colleagues breaking her wrist and a bit of reshuffling, we ended up doing Minehead 1 and 2 followed by Skegness.

Anniversary Day

It's our wedding anniversary today.

19 years! Wow - how did that happen?!

Kay tweeted about this using the hashtags #Happy, #Blessed and #Thankful.

Having asked Steve how he would sum up the last 19 years his reply was "Happy".

So we seem to be of one mind on this - nothing unusual there!

Our promised January Update

We promised those who follow what we're doing and support/pray for us, that we would send a newsletter at the end of January.... and in the process of promising that managed to make everything sound a little mysterious!

Well, here it is!

We wanted to speak with our membership before releasing our main news item. It was our full team conference last week (And what a good one it was!) so the news has now had a chance to settle.
