Devoted – Newark, Lincoln & Southwell

Devoted – Newark, Lincoln & Southwell

This blog doesn’t often focus on our church activities, one Sunday morning service is the same as another it might be argued. However, last weekend we attended the Devoted 2015 Festival. This is a ChristCentral organised event based at Newark Showground and we attended with our Stockport Family Church friends. The weekend wasn’t all churchy, however. Each day we took the opportunity to get out and visit the local area. We arrived on a Thursday evening. Then on Friday following the…

Originally the plan had been that Sarah and I would meet…

Llanfairfechan, although a coastal town, much of the town is a ribbon development following the valley created by the Afon Llanfairfechan. At the top of the town…

A New Years Day Stroll Around Etherow

A New Years Day Stroll Around Etherow

I hadn’t been to Etherow Country Park for many years, and yet it seems over the last twelve months I have been numerous times. This latest visit was for a New Years Day stroll with fellow members of Stockport Family Church which we have recently started attending. For Sarah and I this also proved an interesting repeat of a walk we completed earlier in the year when the season was somewhat different! It was a somewhat muddy walk but no less…
