From Bermondsey, On Her Majesty's Service

For three years this has been his place of work.

St Anne's member, John Casson, has been the Prime Minister's adviser on foreign affairs but now he is getting ready for a new posting with the Foreign Office, but first he came to speak to today's Men's Breakfast on the theme 'On Her Majesty's Service.'

It was our fourth breakfast and the best attended yet, filling the south lounge at St James, as the men tucked into a full English and heard how John lives out his life as a Christian in the Government service.

The really great point that John made was that wherever you work, whatever your calling, you can serve God there and you can be a witness for him.

For John it was the daily time with the Lord at the beginning of the day that made the crucial difference to him personally. It was an opportunity to seek God's wisdom and grace for his highly responsible job at the heart of Government.

Next week at St Anne's we are praying for John and Kat and commissioning them as they prepare for their next posting. More about that soon...
