Monday 20th January was Blue Monday, a day when apparently all our Christmas financial and relational misgivings catch up with us, the weather is grim, our resolutions have fallen by the wayside and we’ve just caught the second wave of the seasonal lurgy.

What’s the most important thing in your life? Ok so that’s a really big question. A little part of me that wants to be flippant and say: chocolate! But, my honest answer is: relationships. My relationship with my Creator is number one. My relationships with family and friends come a close second. If I Google […]
Ok, so I swapped a few words around there, but there are certainly some couples who will remember the 1st of October! We had 33 couples come along to A Day Together in Selly Oak and for some it was very memorable indeed. One attendee commented ‘This is an eye opening, life changing event’, while […]
