Hi! It’s wonderful that you’ve found your way here
This is the blog of me, Dan Balsdon, Methodist minister in West Sussex, serving the communities of Bognor Regis, Felpham and Westergate.
Throughout the pandemic we’ve all been living differently and as Christians we’ve been worshipping and praying differently too as we navigate these unchartered waters together.
I’ve used my blog as a resource hub for signpost to worship and discipleship opportunties and as a source of encouragement in our faith, support in our discipleship and sustenance as Kingdom people – seeking to live together with lives of faith and hope in God.
Material for worship at home is available on Worship Resources
A diary with access details for telephone/online events is in our calendar. sign up to join the mailing list to receive Tues News, a weekly roundup of news, pointers for worship and more.
In Peace & Hope, Rev Dan
