A joy to take services across in Hirwaun and Penywaun today. Thank you for the invite.

Wonderful to see the latest dissertations from our MA Children, Young People and Family Specialists. They are available in the St Padarn’s library in Cardiff. We are working on an electronic repository so they can be accessed from further afield. stpadarns.ac.uk/MACYF

Such a wonderful time at today’s graduation for our MA children, young people and family specialists: stpadarns.ac.uk/MACYF

What fun at the Hand in Hand Children and Family Ministry Conference Awards Evening.

Good to see “LIGHTBRINGERS: FRREDOM IN CHRIST FOR CHILDREN”, the book Jo Foster and I wrote, now translated into Romanian.

In Aberystwyth University this weekend with our Newly Licensed Ministers (those ordained 2023 & 2024). We are looking at Children, Young People & Family Ministry with our 2024 NLMs and Mission, Evangelism & New Christian Communities with our 2023 NLMs.

Great photo hey? That is some yawn 😊:

Lovely to preach at Citizen Church and St Mark's today. But been a long couple of months, so time to recharge. Be back in a week or so. Off to find a hot tub 😊.

Fabulous time preaching at St Ludwig's Hirwaun, and then St Winifred's Penywaun this morning. A lovely welcome as usual.

Here this evening. Very excited 😛😊.

This is definitely one of my favourite achievements of the year. My book review in Welsh has made it onto the classroom wall 🥳! Yn bendant yn un o fy hoff gyflawniadau'r flwyddyn. Fy adolygiad llyfr ar y wal yn y dosbarth Cymraeg 🥳!

Fabulous day canoeing over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct! Staggering views. PontcysyllteAqueduct
