There are many words you could use to describe Pauline. Stylish, hard-working, proud, reliable, honest, encouraging, particular, emotional. There was a brief time of sharing tributes to Pauline at the beginning of the service at St Christopher’s a couple of weeks ago, where she was spoken of as being kind, smart, having panache and style, … Continue reading Remembering Pauline Blunt

I had to Google it … Continue reading I will sing of the goodness of God – reflecting on 10 years

Weekly Update – Stand together (3rd March 2022)
On Sunday our family joined my parents at their church near Witney. The Bible reading was Hebrews 10. What leapt out at me was the exhortation in verses 23-25."Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and … Continue reading Weekly Update – Stand together (3rd March 2022)
Weekly Update – The power of praise (17th February 2022)

Weekly Update – Integrity matters (13th January 2022)
As I write the main headlines surround the party that took place in Downing Street on 20 May 2020 that the Prime Minister has now admitted he attended, although he argues he didn't realise it was a social event. While it isn't appropriate to comment on this issue much here, it is worth reflecting that 2 … Continue reading Weekly Update – Integrity matters (13th January 2022)
