Fitness
freaks
We have both become members of a local fitness
club. This extravagance was prompted when we returned from
our holiday in London feeling overweight and unfit. We have
both lost weight through a combination of regular aerobic
exercise and sensible eating. Barrie is one and a half stone
lighter and Joan is stress busting.
Literature
Our
story has just appeared in Print. We were interviewed about
our experience of bringing up Warwick for a new book by John
Young called Wrestling with giants. The interview was
recorded, transcribed and then written up for the book. The
result is interesting--not quite the way we might have recorded
it--but we hope people find it useful. It's one chapter in
the book which features stories from others who've lived with
cancer, depression, fear etc. The book forms the basis of
a Lent study course. It's published by Hodders.
Omega?
Our first
taste of an Alpha course came this summer when we led a group
at St Mike's. An interesting experience and possibly a one
off. We were disappointed that no one seemed interested in
questioning the course content--preferring to be spoon fed
without challenging the issues. Perhaps Alpha is a bit too
dogmatic in style.
Belfrey
Hall
The church
hall has been modernised and Warwick can get into it for the
first time in thirteen years. There's a ramp to the side door
and facilities for disabled people inside. A real breakthrough.
