This morning in Norwich

Adrian Holloway on December 2, 2012 with 0 Comments

I spoke on “The Bible – Can you really trust it?” as part of King’s Community Church Norwich’s series of 10 objections that they’ve been working through on Sunday mornings. Last time I was there 12 months ago, to my delight I discovered that as soon as I’d finished preaching, I was hurried into a car with the engine running and driven to their Mile Cross venue for a repeat preach there at their second site. This time I arrived to find that an area of the stage had been taped off, a sort of “if you wander around while preaching don’t wander beyond these lines because we are video-ing you for the Mile Cross venue where the video of your preach will be shown next Sunday” type deal. So I stayed within the boundaries (like the responsible visiting speaker that I am) and I enjoyed presenting some new material on a subject which is so close to my heart. Afterwards I had a number of people ask for prayer for healing, even though I’d mentioned nothing about healing at all in the talk. One lady said she’d driven from Northampton especially because “Last time you were here, you healed my friend’s sciatica.” So I had to work hard to explain that I can’t and never have healed anyone. But it does show that healing is real when people can so see the visible results that their friends want more of the same. Anyway, a huge well done to Toby & Jean Skipper who I have known for many years. Toby became the lead elder at KCC  about a year or so ago. I also saw Nathan Jarvis there, who is the University of East Anglia CU President, who I will be serving on Thursday evening when I return for the UEA CU Carol Service in Norwich Cathedral.
