Coming up next week...  Hello. This week's blog starts on a serious tone. Since the death of George Floyd there has been an outpouring of emotion not just in the USA but all over the world. Racism is an incredibly serious issue, which has been prevalent in society for far too long. As a white man, living in a predominantly white community, it has often been easy to overlook the unconscious nature of discrimination and it has only really been this year that I have begun to understand this. Although you might not be on the protest march, this doesn't mean you can't do anything. As a christian, I believe in a God who is for all. He doesn't discriminate.

Different groups will be up to different points through the devotional plans but we are continuing with that this week.
