Rev Geoff and his wife Joan
Lent leads us through a spiritual desert, where we strip ourselves of all the trappings and distractions of daily life to focus on who we are, what we're doing, and where the Lord may be leading us next. The whole thing is supposed to culminate at Easter with the empty tomb and new beginnings. However, this year I am putting myself through it all again with a two month sabbatical, focusing on my journey thus-far and where He might be leading Joan and me from here. I plan to write my story in the time I have. This may sound like some kind of ego trip, but I hope it may be interesting enough to be published, so that others may be encouraged by it. I have the title "From Pit to Pulpit" in mind, as I was in a bit of a mess when the Lord first picked me up, but I expect my publisher may have other ideas, we'll see. Even if it is never published, it will be something for my kids to read when I've gone! 

Gill will be taking care of things pastorally whilst I'm away, and Bea and Sally will be running the show with their usual aplomb. I will be "back in harness" on June 2nd. but will be sending weekly reports back to Michelle for folks who wish to follow my progress and pray for me. Please pray too for Joan, as she joins Elaine and others to journey to Oberammergau and beyond.

Yours in Christ
Geoff
