Now, here’s a thing – what do you know about Jerusalem? I suspect most of us think that we know more than we do. Try this little test (*Answers at the bottom of the page): When is Jerusalem first mentioned in the Bible?Which Israelite King first conquered...
Now here’s a thing
Wittertainment
Now, here’s a thing, do you know what Wittertainment is? And if you do, are you an LTL or an STL and have you ever been an FTE? Would you know what to say to Jason Isaacs if you met him (but not Jeremy Irons?) Lastly, do you love the show, Steve? Well, enough, I hear...
Come to me…
Now, here’s a thing. If you were at one of our mid-week devotional meetings, or have caught it on-line you will know that Graham finished looking at Matthew Ch 11 by commenting briefly upon the final two verses in the chapter. “Come to me, all you who are weary...
Down the rabbit hole
Now, here’s a thing... If you follow an idea ‘down a rabbit-hole’ it can be surprising what you find out (You’ll never guess where this is going to end up!) Anyway, it starts with ‘I never really liked Mary Poppins, the original film’. Not even when I was 9 and saw...
A Tune Stuck In My Head
Now, here’s a thing... I had a topic in mind for this week and then I got a song stuck in my head the other day, the way you do. Oddly, it was one I had not heard in a very long time – ‘Bad Moon Rising’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in April 1969...

Ramblings
Now, here’s a thing. I noticed that it is now more than six months since we met together as a Church and that we have been using this Bulletin and electronic communication as a means of keeping in touch. We have two unsung heroes to thank for that – Philip...
Old Friends
Now, hers’s a thing! There are only three people in the world who call me “Mickey Mellors”! One is my wife, Sarah and the other two are a couple called Geoff and Christine. She got it off them. I have known Geoff and Christine for over 50 years. I first met...
Black Lives Matter
Now, here’s a thing – Some subjects can be difficult and somewhat touchy to talk about. ‘Black Lives Matter’ is certainly one of those. What is the Christian view on it? Well, there isn’t one, firstly because the topic itself has become broad and diverse with many...
Don Masson
Now, here’s a thing….. football! I confess that I have always loved football, playing it and watching it. As a boy it filled a lot of my waking hours. As a teenager I got the same Christmas present every year - a new pair of boots. When it comes to football I am...
