One-to-One evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth.” ― C.S. Lewis

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spead their message or to have fun.

Preaching this morning at West End Chapel.

Venue: St Annes Grove, Fareham PO14 1JX
Time: 10.00am
Bible Passage: Acts chapter 7 verses 7-42
Title: ‘Under Pressure’

Thank you for your support!

Thank you for your prayers for Penny. Many of you will know that Penny has been experiencing exhaustion, also known as fatigue, and becomes a problem when it continues day to day, affecting her health. A few weeks ago penny had to stop everything and just rest. A few weeks on and Penny ios improving but will be out of action until after Christmas.

A few days away this week in Bath, meant a change of scenery but still lots of rest. Pray that she may find healing in rest, and find the right balance as her energy improves.
