Mike and Joy Guthrie have been on a trip of a lifetime; one of their stops was London, where we had a chance to catch up. I met them at Oxford Circus and Mike and Joy couldn't believe how busy it was on a Sunday at 10am, sirens and traffic jams....gotta love London Town.
We visited All Souls Church for their morning service, where John Stott was the practicing minister before he retired. He preaches occasionally, is still writing books, and attends church every Sunday. Luckily, John Stott was rostered on to preach today; however some bad news hit the congregation that John had had a fall that morning and fractured his hip. The congregation sighed with a mixture of disappointment and concern. Though, John's concern was for the congregation; he was apparently ordering the Ambulance staff around to ensure his semon notes were put in the minister's hands for the congregation to hear. Bless him.
After church I took Mike and Joy back along Oxford Street, (braving the famous red buses), passed Hyde Park and to our little studio.
Giving them a tour of our studio took all of 30 seconds because it is so huge!! :) so we went down to my new favourite caffe called Carluccio's which has beautiful, fresh Italian, scrumptious food!
It was a beautiful day with Mike and Joy, I was incredibly blessed by them and by their encouragement to me and to Matt. Bless you both.
I think their next stop is Ireland (wow!) to visit some old friends.
Have a ball Mike&Joy!
Thank you for your love and care!
