Looks like a busy and interesting year for you and the other folk in Caversham. I pray that God will bless all of the activities and give you health and strength to continue all that you are doing for Him.

Thanks, FP. 'It's being so busy that keeps me going.' We also have a change of Minister in the middle of the year, so it will be a momentous year overall.
