Strictly Joy

2017 began in a very strange way. We began the year with a church-social with a couple of professional ballroom dancers teaching us a few ‘moves’. If you’ve ever seen me dance, you’ll know that the term ‘move’ is a little optimistic. ‘Dad-Dancing’ doesn’t do it justice.

Two hours before, we had already hosted a special lunch club in the Baptist Church hall for seniors. A […]

In the run-up towards Easter, our church made the courageous decision to make the 40 days of Lent about others and not about ourselves. We signed up to the ‘40Acts’ initiative and committed to an act of kindness each day towards those we know and those we don’t. We had some great stories to share. […]
