What Do We Do Now?

[A ‘Tuesday Challenge‘ originally prepared for the congregation of Horley Baptist Church during Jaanuary 2026]

Once upon a time the ruler of a large country became obsessed with taking possession of some land belonging to his neighbour.

Let the Celebrations Continue!

[A ‘Tuesday Challenge‘ originally prepared for the congregation of Horley Baptist Church during January 2026]

2026 logo It’s over for another year.

One day’s food supply for Solomon’s household was: 185 bushels[1] of fine flour 375 bushels of meal 10 grain-fed cattle 20 range cattle 100 sheep and miscellaneous deer, gazelles, roebucks, and choice fowl.
1 Kings 4 v22-23 [The Message]
