Out and About

For those who like to keep up to date with Dennis' adventures this is being posted by Diane, Dennis' PA as Dennis has not been in the office very much of late!

This week Dennis has been out and about spending a couple of days at the National Christian Resource Exhibition, Sandown Park, Esher with various members of the Viz-A-Viz team. Envizage Theatre company have presented regular entertainment thoughout the 4 days presenting various amusing sketches. He has certainly enjoyed catching up with many old and new friends, but wished he had been able to talk with everyone he saw!

Members of our Optimum Gap year programme together with Beth and Lindsay (our Training Director and Optimum Project Manager) attended on Thursday, which is the Youth Day. They too had good conversations with many young people who are considering what to do in the next few years and may consider taking part in the Optimum year out programme.

Dennis has recently been speaking a number of Men's Breakfast meetings - last Saturday at a group near Cambridge and this week will be in Hildenborough, Kent. He has also been preaching several Sunday's at a local church and will over the Bank holiday weekend be leading a Church weekend in Eastbourne with the focus on Mission in the local church. If you would like Dennis to come to speak at an event or service, please contact us for more information!

You may have noticed various links on the left hand side - a new one has recently appeared - jumpDENjump - Dennis will be 50 later this year and will have been in ministry for 25 years and to celebrate these two momentous events he has decided to take part in a sponsored parachute jump.

Den will no doubt be updating his blog shortly with more information on all of his adventures and happenings! Have a great weekend! Diane
