I am so glad to be part of my local church family but on top of this so glad to be part of a world wide family of churches.  This week we went back to Exeter (from where we moved) to the church we were part of in order to let them know how we are getting on.  They were all glad to hear how much we love Birmingham and impressed with facts such as ‘Birmingham has more canals than Venice’.

As well as having fun in seeing friends, it was great to receive prayer, input and words of encouragement from people we know have our best interests and God’s glory at heart.  It is certainly true that we can do more together than we can apart.
