My mother-in-law (Anji) is one of the most inspiring, hard working, kind women that I have ever met. She has raised and loved seven children, then went to work in a care home and went from cleaner to manager and just is an absolute trooper! She chose to retire a couple years back, after years […]
So encouraged to remember this from 2yrs ago.

I have just been at a Baptism service where three churches came together to watch 9 men,women & children of all ages get in a pool as they ‘decide to give their life to Jesus ‘. For me, this is the most special and beautiful thing to see, I’ve had the honour of seeing baptisms […]
