POLAND – SOME FAVOURITE THINGS

It’s been a super week in Poland and as our time draws to an end we’ve a lot to look back on fondly.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s made our time in Poland such an enjoyable one…

Andrew each day with his sporting endeavours,
Being so busy whatever the weather.
Teaching the children ‘bout Jesus the King,
These were a few of our favourite things.

Elijah too with his biceps so bulging,
Plans that Emilka kept daily divulging
Sharing the hope that the gospel it brings,
These were a few of our favourite things.

Both Clare and Esther teaching Irish dancing,
Stories of Jesus always so entrancing,
All falling silent each time the bell rings,
These were a few of our favourite things.

Ruth and Kaye too, all the craft they’ve inspired,
The Polish team that we’ve hugely admired,
Sharing how God takes us under his wings,
These were a few of our favourite things.

Pete eating dog food – that’s truly disgusting
Helping the children in God to be trusting,
Speaking the truth to which all of us cling,
These were a few of our favourite things.

Two of our team with their accents so Brummie,
Food on the tables that’s always so yummy,
Songs before dinner that everyone sings,
These were a few of our favourite things.

All of the laughing and all of the joking,
Slipping and sliding on surfaces soaking,
Pizzas we made with their tasty toppings,
These were a few of our favourite things.

As our time ends,
Having made friends,
And we fly away,
Remembering all of the fun that we’ve had,
We’ll say a big ‘Dziękuję’

Nothing particularly interesting to say about myself other than after 27 years working as a GP, I was delighted, at the start of December 2023, to start work as the South West Regional Representative of the Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). You can read about what they do at sga.org.uk. I am also an avid Somerset County Cricket Club supporter and a poor example of a Christian who likes to put finger to keyboard from time to time and who is foolish enough to think that someone out there might be interested enough to read what I've written. Some of these blogs have grown over time and some portions of earlier blogs reappear in slightly different forms in later blogs. I apologise for the repetition. If you are involved in a church in the southwest of England and would like to hear more of SGA’s work, do get in touch. I’d love to come and talk a little, or even a lot, about what they get up to!.
