In November, among a generous helping of bacon, beans, bangers and eggs, we were served a fascinating discussion on biblical building. Inspired by John’s excellent testimony on life in the building industry (October) we explored teachings in 1 Peter, Ephesians and Genesis. Surprisingly, the Bible became a very enlightening instruction tool on how to build; especially interesting and challenging when we learned we are the building materials being used to create the building. It certainly induces feelings of wonder, security and responsibility (to name but a few). The God that created the universe chooses to dwell in us rather than build himself some other, far more perfect, dwelling place.
Ever felt alone, unsure of your purpose or want to be more aware of the amazing role you have to play in our world? Then do join us for a full English breakfast served with a conference of cornflakes (sorry – what is the collective noun for cornflakes?) where, next, we will be examining what the Bible has to say about building roads.
We meet next on Saturday 31 December, from 8:30 in The Wilshere Hall, St Andrew’s Church. Email the benefice administrator (admin@3churches.net) to book your bangers.

Very sadly, after more than 30 years, the Great Amwell Carpet Bowls Club has closed its doors.
Mr Alan Ball, who has set up the mats for the club’s members every Tuesday for many years, is no longer able to do so and the club have been unable to find someone else to take on the job. Thank you to Mr Alan Ball for his hard work, and to everyone who has been a member of the years.
The hall management committee would give much encouragement to anyone who wants to take on running the club. If you are interested and are able to volunteer some time, please be in contact with The Three Villages (threevillagesmagazine@gmail.com) or Great Amwell Parish Hall directly (01920 467927).
