Being a Christian keeps me busy:
- I lead a prayer group, praying for this country, and local issues.
- I teach a Bible Class for 11 - 14 year olds. They are all boys, and
that is hard work!
- I help lead a growth group to teach young Christians,
and to learn from them, and the group gives each other mutual support.
- I am a member of a Ladies Daytime Growth Group also,
which I help to lead.
- We do lots of fun things also, like cycle rides, model railway days
, meals out,
open houses. (I am supposed to be running one today).
We also have fellowship meals at the church, and "Fizz and Quiz",
and film evenings. Really an awful lot of things that "normal" people do. - We also sponsor a needy child in the Lebanon.
- We take the young people away for adventure weekends,
and to things like bowling and ice skating
.
Both Derek and I have been Christians for most of our adult lives,
(sometimes backslidden, but always coming back).
We first met at Kings Own, the bible Class of St John's Welling,
but it was not love at first sight! He thought I was just another
teenybopper, and we did not meet again until a Youth Hostel Valentine
party several years later.
We now attend Faversham Gospel Mission,which is an independent fellowship,
and is growing, so we must be doing something right!
Testimony
Some years ago, Derek was told that his services would no longer be required
at the place where he was working. We did not know where to turn, but asked
some people at the Mission to pray about it. Within two days , it had become
clear that we were to run our own business, and The Lord would provide the work
, which He has done ever since!
Even the decision to buy the first of our two computers was taken after prayer,
so otherwise we might not be on the Internet now!
This is just a short testimony. Since I started this page, I have written my
whole testimony. It is not up to date, as The Lord has been doing much in
my life this last year, and I have yet to write it down.
I've now done so , so if you want to be encouraged about

I've just started adding some Bible studies to my pages. They are based on teaching I have been doing with some of the church groups.This one is on John's vision of Christ in glory in Revelation1
The next two that I plan to add are A look at 1Corinthians 13 for young people
and A personal view of the Gifts of The Spirit
I've also just added something I wrote for Christmas this year.
A Carol's Christmas and
also some thoughts
I had about the armour of God .
As a 2002 revision, I have also added some
new year thoughts for this year, not very profound, I'm afraid.
If you didn't visit it from our home page, I've also added
an account of my visit to the Colorado conference
Harvest update 2001: Mainly pictures
of harvest festival at the Mission this year. I am the large lady in the mauve
scarf!
