If you go down in the woods today.....(you're in for a big surprise!)

We drove throught the fabulous Yosemite park- awesome scenery, the sort of stuff which makes you think about God...
And, at the last minute decided to camp in the park, and were directed to a wooded area full of pines (and apparently bears...). We were totally shocked to discover that our next door neighbours were Mark and Lizzy Smith!! Lizzy and Nigel led worship together over 10 years ago(when St Toms was only at Crookes), and then they moved to Nottingham and now worship at Trent Vineyard.
So, we had a lovely evening by the campfire reminiscing and drinking wine, and encouraging and praying for each other- a real Kairos moment in an awesome place.

Amazingly, Ben has just finished GCSEs and the other kids are looking pretty grown up too! (Jess was still a baby when they left)
I love stuff like this happening in life......
