Two very different situations, a residential care home yesterday with those at the end of life, to a junior school this morning (for 2 assemblies) with those at the start of life – great to hear the Lord’s Prayer said from memory in both settings and a natural springboard into my various themes.

an encouraging email received today –

“Just thought I’d share a little encouragement with you. E’s girlfriend (now 16) went to Sarisbury Junior school and just shared with me that she remembers you coming in to do school assemblies. She remembers acting out the parable of the lost sheep, how the shepherd left the 99 to find the one when she was year 6.
She said that soon after she started coming to church with us that she was reminded of that parable and realised she was that one sheep, She is now a Jesus follower having been a practising pagan when she started dating E.
Those seeds sown when she was in Yr 6 remained with her and all contribute to her journey to and in faith.”

One-to-One evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“An argument is like a country road, you never know where it is going to lead.” – Anonymous

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spead their message or to have fun.

“Jesus Christ’s claim of divinity is the most serious claim anyone ever made. Everything about Christianity hinges on His carnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. That’s what Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter are all about.”
