You can entertain/challenge and even (because I’m a big boy) abuse me via the power of the Internet and my fridge. Send an email to roboroughvicarage@gmail.com consisting of a picture attachment and the message in the subject, and my fridge will read it.

I’ve been speaking to people about Jesus (and in previous lives, other things as well) and supporting that with slides for more years than I care to remember. It started with Harvard Graphics for me, and if you too remember that on DOS then we are both way too old for this game. However, Powerpoint…

As we gather we have the opportunity to reflect on these Holy Scriptures God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46.1 I lift up my eyes to the hills – from whence will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121.1-2…
At the entrance to the church there is a small dish of water, dwarfed by our elegant font, so often walked past, so often ignored and yet a vital reminder for everyone of the power of our baptism in Christ. The water in there is never there long enough to get stagnant, because at each…
