WIDE OPEN SPACE - HOLINESS
The vision for our wide open space evenings to provide space for people to connect with God and worship and pray. In Autumn '23 we created installations around the theme of Holiness and engaged the senses in worship, from smell, taste, sewing, art making and interactive projections we saw God meet with people in wonderful ways. This led into a creative worship training session for the Diocese of Lichfield which saw a number of church leaders come and be inspired and empowered to release creative worship in their contexts.
PAINTINGS FOR SHARING
So often I'm asked to paint in worship, which I know God speaks to people through. However, I struggle with the idea that only my hands are used on the piece. So I developed paintings for sharing. Listening to God and responding to the Spirit through painting, then cutting up the piece live and sharing it with the room gathered to take away. Here are a few examples.
THE WHOLENESS PROJECT
Curating spaces for women to find wholeness in Christ across Telford and Shropshire.
STORYBOARDS
At large gatherings giving people space to join in and share their stories is great. For the last couple of years at New Wine gatherings I've designed some storyboards and art spaces for people to join in with and they have been really popular and engaging for people. There are many stories of transformation, as people wrote or painted, or drew God spoke and brought freedom and healing.
NEW WINE BACKDROP
In 2022 I collaborated with another artist to create an evolving prophetic backdrop to the stage for New Wine's United Gathering. We designed a piece that used shapes linking to the prophetic message of the new springing up - Isaiah 43:19 -
'See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.'
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.'
After a period of lockdowns and Covid it was a significant message for people to see as they regathered to worship together after a few years of being unable to and such a privilege to share this message.
RESOURCE AWAY DAY PRAYER STATIONS
I was asked to help with some prayer stations around a few parables for an away day for charity ReSource who seek to enabling little, local and ordinary churches to engage with the Holy Spirit for renewal, discipleship and mission.

FOOTPRINTS WORSHIP AT ST MELLITUS
F O O T P R I N T S
What footprints do you leave? Do you love walking along the sand or snow and seeing fresh prints? Maybe its just me?
Maybe you love the crunch of autumn leaves under your feet, the feeling when you wake up and place your feet on the warm fluffy rug.
We leave footprints all the time. Footprints in peoples lives. Footprints in places.
Footprints on this earth.
Footprints on this earth.
Our ‘carbon footprint’.
What footprints are you going to leave this year? Whose lives are you going to journey with?
Will there be footprints of a journey that leads closer to Christ? And who will you be inviting to join you on that journey?

HOPE: Into the Light
HOPE: Into the Light
HOPE: Into the Light
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Romans 8:24-25
As a new year begins, it’s so easy to think about new beginnings. For so many people in the world it’s so hard to have hope for tomorrow let alone today. As you enter intothe light filled space bring to mind all the things you hope for and long for. You mightlike to think about things close by, or things happening in the world that just seem so hopeless. Bring these to God in prayer.
