Over 130 people, from all over Norfolk and beyond, turned up for the tenth anniversary of Word on the Wash on Saturday 4 October at the King’s Centre, King’s Lynn. There was a feast of good ministry and warm fellowship.
Adrian Reynolds, Associate National Director of FIEC gave two talks on the book of Ezra, the first dealing with the rebuilding of the temple following the exiles’ return from Babylon, and the second dealing with Satan’s ploy in hindering the work. As many expressed, this was good, solid, pastoral preaching at its best (both talks can be heard on the website).
Word on the Wash came out of the concerns that John Wallis and his wife Kathleen, retired missionaries, shared with a local vicar, Robert Slipper and his wife Helen, about the lack of good Bible teaching in many churches. From the beginning it has always been part of the Keswick Fellowship of local conventions with Jonathan Lamb being a great support. It was a pleasure to have Kathleen and members of her family present at this special anniversary and she was presented with a lovely bouquet.
