Today I visited the team of Epping Forest YFC. Amazingly the traffic was non existent this morning so the extra 40 mins I had allowed enabled me to say Daily Office in Epping Forest. It’s amazing that such a ‘naturey’ place can be found in the wonderful city of London.

I joined the team for their prayer meeting and it was great to spend some quality time in prayer with others. I lead a brief meditation where we all met with Jesus on the beach. Simple but provocative in the thoughts and emotions it produced in us.

Epping Forest YFC have loads of exciting things happening and are actually holding back because they need more volunteers – so if you re in the area and have some time to offer please do look them up. They are an excellent team, and the love and respect that they have for each other was obvious and could almost be touched. Such a great legacy left, I think, by their previous director.

Talking of their past director (that link took me an age to work out!), afterwards I had lunch bought for me by my wonderful Jedi Knight friend, aka Leesa. Leesa is now the assistant minister at Buckhurst Hill Baptist Church and it is always excellent to catch up with her. Thanks Leesa for lunch – I guess it’s my shout next time!
