• Holy Week starts with joy

    Many thanks to all those who made Palm Sunday so special at St Mary’s. (I’ve been ill for a fortnight, so it wasn’t down to me!)

    What kind of sermon is this supposed to be Kelvin? You never did like sticking to o­ne story, but this takes the biscuit. You told them more about what you were not going to say than about what you were going to say.

    Just back in from an evening in the synod hall with 20 members of the congregation. This was prompted by my being told a while ago that it would be good for people to have a chance to get to know me. I’m not sure what that means. After all, I’m such an easy person…
