On holiday with my family at Drayton Manor, I wanted to find a local evangelical church to worship in. After a bit of searching online I found Tamworth Baptist just 3 miles away and saw the name of the pastor - Graham Criddle. I knew I had to go there!
I went along this morning and found the congregation to be very warm and welcoming, I really enjoyed the service, I was challenged by the sermon and (on a whimsical note) was quite surprised by Graham's rich, deep melodious voice!
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet some of the congregation over coffee after the service and especially of course the chance to chat with Graham.
The funny thing is that visiting these forums frequently almost makes me feel as if I know Graham, Mark Barnes, MJ, Alabama, and the rest. These folks are amazing and do so much to serve the church by helping us all with this very powerful (and complex) software.
The choice for holiday church was so much easier because of the forum here and from now on I'll hear Graham's voice as I read his posts. The whole experience just prompted me to say thanks publicly here for all those who give their time and share their expertise with us. Thanks (and a special thanks to Graham for the service this morning!)
