We have also just led a lovely Spirit-filled weekend in Hutton, Weston-super-Mare with a <strong>MUSICAL MAN<\/strong> evening where I share my story with songs from the shows, followed by a Sunday morning where I preached and led praise. We had a similar weekend at St Ann\u2019s, Rainhill, Merseyside. These type of weekends are such a joy to do and a great privilege to share with local folk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"497\" data-id=\"13152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-26-at-11.46.17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-26-at-11.46.17.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-26-at-11.46.17-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"888\" height=\"592\" data-id=\"13151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3339.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3339.jpg 888w, https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3339-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3339-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming up soon will be our music week at Scargill (North Yorks), already fully booked with a waiting list, but we also look forward to leading a Retreat Week (23-27 October) at <strong>The Pleasaunce, Overstrand, Norfolk<\/strong>.
