It's been a busy week with a school governors meeting on Thursday, a very interesting meeting about church growth on Monday, two school assemblies on the plagues of Egypt (we're doing Moses at present), the Big Picture. on Wednesday and Saturday (looking at Abraham), a C4T prayer meeting, a meeting of the St James building group looking at external repairs for the building, and then, on Saturday, our second men's breakfast.
A good bunch of blokes turned out at 8.30am for a full English breakfast and to hear how the Reverend Leslie Wells delivered his fifth child on the living room floor.
In those days Les wasn't a rev. He wasn't even a regular churchgoer. But when his wife announced that Wells No.5 was about to enter the world straightaway, Les not only asked God for help, but came to church a fortnight later to say thank you to the Lord for a bonny 101b baby safely delivered.
That was the beginning of a whole journey of faith for Les, and, twenty years later, he is vicar of St George's Church, on the St Helier estate, a local man sharing the Gospel with local people.
