As is a common theme, the blog post is named after a song. This time from Hillsong United’s album ‘United we stand’. I’ve put the video from the album below for you to listen to. You’ll understand why I chose the title as you read the post… This coming Sunday evening at Llandudno Youth for […]
I’ve recently been listening back to some albums that God has spoken through in the past to me. It’s good to revisit times when God impacted your life. To view the marker stones in your life to remind yourself of God’s faithfulness to you in the past; and in doing that to encourage yourself that […]
In Japanese culture, there is an ancient art form called Kintsukori or kintsugi. This is where a broken vessel is put back together with a colourful lacquer or a precious metal, normally gold. A successful piece of art is where the finished work shows that the piece of pottery is even more beautiful for having […]
The title is a bit like ‘Location, location, location’, but it’s all about the ‘DIY SOS’ that we need, but so much more impactful and intense.

At Christmas time we can become too familiar with the words of the songs and carols we sing; like when we do anything many times, it becomes automatic and we don’t think about what we are doing. We drive a car or write a letter and don’t have to stop and think about every single […]
Last night at our last ‘Redefine‘ of 2017, we held our amazing leaders Nativity. It was again our take on the Christmas nativity story; titled ‘Hobbit Wars‘. We did a mash up of characters from the Lord of the Rings & Star Wars stories and had them as the characters from the nativity story. Joseph […]
Well we’ve just had a white Christmas, so we do not need to hunt for the snow, we had a lovely disruptive drop of flakes on Sunday. My kids loved it. Catching snowflakes on their tongues and having a snowball fight with mum & dad in the garden. The title of this post hearkens back […]
