Next week is the Newfrontiers leaders conference in Brighton, which means things are speeding up. I’m rushing to get everything finished that needs to be finished before the conference and have also been working hard on a seminar I am doing on Manliness. I reckon preparing this one seminar has been the equivalent of preparing three sermons. Surely something wrong there… Anyway, I’m feeling pretty testosteroned up with all this thinking about manliness, so if you want a fight I’ll gladly step outside.
I expect I’ll be doing some blogging from Brighton, so there will be no need for you to go to Warnock’s blog for the gossip!
Conference week also means that we have international visitors with us at Gateway. This weekend John & Linda Lanferman from St Louis, USA, and the weekend after Evan & Tracy Rogers from Dubai, as well as Stephen & Molly Manhanga from Zimbabwe. It is a real privilege to have these friends from around the world come to be with us. We are expecting to receive a great blessing!
Things are also slowing down as the normal run of church activities subsides for the summer. It is good to have a few weeks without much of an organized program to enable everyone to chill out. September will be here soon enough, and the pedal will be to the metal then.
The kids also have the faster/slower combo going on. Not much formal learning seems to be happening at school, but there is plenty of activity – sports days, school plays, summer fayres, friends to see… Took them out fishing for an hour last night – absolutely perfect weather, and the mackerel were practically jumping into the boat. Happy days.
