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.
