Some regular thoughts from FFMCThe Bible in a Year: 10% Day
Today is 10% day in our journey through the Bible in 2011 - congratulations! About now you may be asking yourself the question – how do I keep this real? It’s all too easy to get into a habit of scan reading through the daily verse. While this might get you through...
The Bible in a Year: Day 31
One of the best ways of completing a big goal is to split it into a set of smaller goals and to celebrate achieving each of the smaller ones as you go along. For those of you who are reading through the Bible this year – well done, you’ve made it to day 31. That means...
You’ve Got Your Hands Full!
On Sunday night, at our Celebration Service, Joyce Parkinson shared a little about her great grandson (nickname Scooby) and the medical difficulties he is going through. If you want to know more and keep up with events one of the best places is Esther’s blog – You’ve...
Series New and Old
We’re about to start a whole new set of series at Fulwood. In the morning we are continuing to look at our vision for 2011 and the areas where we would love to see God stretch our faith. In the evening we are looking at the advice the Paul gives to the church in...
The Bible in a Year: 3.3% of the way through
This year we’ve all been encouraged to read more of the Bible, and for many of us that has meant a challenge to read through the whole Bible in a year. Personally I’m using a new One Year Bible that was very kindly given to me as a Christmas gift. There’s something...
Christmas is coming…

Weekend Reflections: Life’s Healing Choices
This weekend we started a new series on Sunday mornings: We make choices all the time; whether that’s the seemingly simple choice of what clothes to wear, or more significant choices that affect our futures. This series looks at a set of choices that we can make that...
Weekend Reflections: Did you hear that?
Are you listening? Did you perceive what was spoken? God is speaking, can you hear is? You only have to look at the titles of the talks over the last few weeks to see a thread, a link, a coupling: Being in the presence of God: Andrew Gardner Matthew 5 – How blessed...
Weekend Reflections: Relationships, Relationships, Relationships
Anyone else notice that there has been a bit of a theme to the Sunday Talks over the last few weeks? Sometimes we go through seasons when the underlying theme for Sunday talks is planned, at others we leave it open to the Holy Spirit to move the people bringing the...
Weekend Reflections: Psalm 23
It’s only Saturday and I already know what the preacher is planning to preach on tomorrow morning – how? Because it’s Sue’s (my wife) turn to preach tomorrow. When you see someone preparing a sermon you start to realise the amount of effort that they put into it. It’s...
Missing Church – Seeing the World
On Sunday evening the rest of the family all needed to be at church early for one reason or another – I didn’t so stayed back. We’d had friends around for Sunday lunch and had spent all afternoon talking and enjoying the fine English spring weather. This meant that we...
