A little bit of England

One of our home churches is St Georges Cathedral in Jerusalem. It really does look like a bit of England has been dropped into Israel. We enjoy going there and being at ease in the familiar services and prayer meetings. Oh and I expect you know (because his website is probably one of your favourites) the AB of C popped in this week, I think we must have been out when he called on us

Not one off the most exciting blogs in the world but we have to keep the AB of C, vicar, PCC and CMS happy, and show that we haven't gone totally off the rails!
