Give thanks

From the Manse... The fact that when the morning alarm goes off in our house, it is still dark outside; the changing colours of the trees as I walk Brodie around the park and the 'autumnal feel' in the air, all point to the conclusion that summer is over. We are now in that period of mellow frui

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.

From the Manse... Some months ago now, I was talking to someone who had just experienced indoor skydiving!

He came to be like us, so that...

From the Manse..... March this year, takes us on our continuing journey through Lent and right into Holy Week itself, with the last day of the month being Easter Saturday.

Love in action

From the Manse..... During this month, where for various reasons we often think of love, let us remind ourselves that love is far more than a heart shaped card or the gift of a red rose, for it is a God given force for good and change, that binds us together and has the power to turn things upside

Papa Panov

From the Manse... One of my favourite Christmas stories is Leo Tolstoy's, "Papa Panov". If you know the story, you will recall how it centres on Papa Panov, an elderly shoe maker who dreams that Jesus tells him that he will come and visit him on Christmas Day, so he should keep alert and kee
