Lord's Day July 20 2025

I was preaching once again yesterday in Penual Baptist Church in Roch, Pembrokeshire. This is the church where our former members, Mike and Ali, have joined. They live in nearby Solva and once again kindly entertained us over the weekend. On the Saturday we had a lovely time going around Pembroke Castle where Henry VII was born. We came to Trebanos first and ar back here now. We will go on to Cardiff next and one or two othr places. I preached at Penuel on Revelation 3:20 and Zechariah 4:6. The morning sermon can be found here.

I was again away from Childs Hill last Sunday. We spent a lovely weekend with friends in Pembrokeshire. On the Sunday, I preached in Penuel Baptist Chapel, Roch, where they are members. I've only preached there once before. On this occasion I preached in the morning on Zechariah 3:2 and then in the afternoon we looked together at Proverbs 24:15, 16. The small but changing congregation was joined by a few visitors. We also visited family on the way there and back.

Lord's Day August 13 2023

I was preaching last Lord's Day in Penuel Baptist Chapel, Roch. I have never preached there before but two long serving members have moved to Pembrokeshire and become members there and so I was given the opportunity. The chapel is compact and holds less than 80 I would guess. It was pretty full last Sunday as lots of holidaymakers had come in, in the morning, including a family I know from North Wales, the new minister at West Kilburn and his family, a family from Childs Hill, a couple who know my sister and several others. I preached on three groans from Romans 8 in the morning. The later 4 o'clock service was smaller and more informal with no hymns. I preached on Zechariah 3:2 and then we had a useful discussion. One feature of the day was that on a campsite near the chapel which we passed a car had speeded into a tent the night before and caused injuries, an item covered on natonal news.
