Attending Church today

I arrived early at the East Jerusalem Baptist Church, thanks to a kind lift from Lloyd and Marianne. It was an opportunity to have my photo taken with Alex Awad, who has been very kind.

This beautiful orange tree is just one of the lovely trees which grow on the Church site - some are 600 years old. 

Today we welcomed Chris Ellis, the President of the Baptist Union in England and Wales. He preached on Jesus in the wilderness. He will be one of the delegates at the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference, which has been attracting some adverse publicity, being accused of being anti-semitic and worse. The conference starts tomorrow - looking forward to it.
