FGB Opportunity!
An FGB Dinner on the Isle of Wight (The Chequers Inn, Rookley) provided a great opportunity to share a testimony of what Christ has done in my life!
It was good to take along Matt Hill and interview him regarding his story of encountering the living Christ!
Great to pray with a few people at the end of the time together, do pray that God will continue to input into the lives of those spoken to.

Look out for Penny face-painting. Good to meet up with old friends and more importantly engage with the local community and sell/pass on Bibles, Christian books to those who would not normally have access to these things.

Hawthorn Court Nursing Home
Hawthorn Court is a purpose built nursing home accommodating up to 80 older persons, including people with dementia. The ministers in the Fareham Western Wards take it in turn to visit the home and lead a monthly service. It was a real privilege this morning to go into the home and share a Christian service with some of the residents.
This morning residents gathered in the lounge for a short get together. They enjoyed and participated in a hymn, some prayers and listened to two solos sung by my wife Penny before hearing a short gospel talk.
For those residents suffering with sever dementia it is hard to know how much they take in, but we trust and pray they find some comfort and encouragement in the things of God
