A short theological reflection from Deacon Selina Nisbett. "It is not good for man to be alone. Hitherto all things in Genesis that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good." wrote John Milton in 1645, at a time of great pe

How to pray?

From the Manse........ What do wax crayons, a bag of skittles, bicarbonate of soda, balloons, Lego and string all have in common?

What next?!

From the Manse... What happens next?

Easter eggs and stables!

From the Manse... When did you see your first Cadbury's cream egg this year? I saw my mine in a supermarket petrol station the day after Boxing Day. Talk about not letting the grass grow under your feet!

It's on the way!

From the Manse........ There are signs of new life all around us, the days are lengthening, snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils are coming in to flower and the birds are singing. Spring is on its way, but not here yet, it is definitely coming although we will have to wait a bit longer before we can

Travelling together

From the Manse.... Catching the bus from the Market Square in Wantage to Didcot Parkway station in early August, was the beginning of a journey that took us safely through to Rogny in France, where we picked up our barge for a week long bike and barge holiday exploring the Loire Valley.

Time for a breather!

From the Manse... One of the joys of going on holiday is the opportunity to see new things and to enlarge our horizons. Getting away from the ordinary and the everyday allows us to do just that. Whether a day out, a weekend away, time with family who live in a different part of the country, or a l
