Two lots of choir this week - Thursday night at my church at Dorridge and Friday night at Acocks Green Methodist. We are doing Ding Dong Merrily on High in 5/4 with occassional 6/4 bar - breathing is optional seemingly for us altos as we have the 'echo' at the end of each line! Before I went out to choir on Friday, I managed to get a first draft of my sermon written which was a weight off my mind and Saturday was spent collecting together things for the prayer focus and photographing some so that they could be put in the powerpoint.



Things to remind us of Jesus' leadership and the way he encouraged others to lead.



Things from the crucifixion which remind us that leadership is painful and has no guarantees but should be about hospitality and celebration. The sign shows that whatever we do will be received and valued by some but ignored or rejected by others.
