How you treat the ‘least’ and the little matters!

Churches are meant to be welcoming places, places where people of all walks of life can enter the building and be welcomed with a smile and a sincere appreciation that they have walked in. One of the key things that churches seem proud of is them being known as a ‘welcoming church’. Which is great,Continue reading “How you treat the ‘least’ and the little matters!”

Why write a book?

There’s been some chat recently on Twitter about the motivation for some people, particularly Pastors, to write books. As a Pastor who has written a book that came out this week I kind of feel like I need to say something.
