be an important part of life, but it’s

certainly not the whole story.
What about the other 167 hours of
the week? Those everyday moments –
getting up, going to work, taking time
out, doing the shopping, looking after
the kids, being at the gym, cooking tea,
helping a neighbour – really do matter
to God. So on Sundays we’ve been

“Hit the undo button” is always the best advice.
“Control-z” if you’re nifty with a keyboard, or the little
“backward” arrow if you’re using a mouse. That way,
in an instant, you can return to how things were.

something to a friend that you can’t undo? You’ve
done something in the recent past that you wish you
could undo? You’ve got into something and don’t know
how to get out and wish that you could? Wouldn’t life
be great with a human undo button when things get
nasty? If only we all had one built in.

You may remember that last year we held a classic car community day, REVS 2017.
It was a really great day, enjoyed by up to 400 people, with stunning weather and
an even more amazing collection of 55 classic cars, bikes and a camper van.
We had a large Scalextric set, driving video games, some fab art and craft,
a Pig Roast, the rocking ‘Rock Choir’ – all washed down with tea and cake.
The best bit was that you did not have to be a petrolhead to enjoy it.
This year we are doing it again, and we would love to see you there.
The Scalextric makes a return, as do the driving games, the pig roast, the
arts and crafts, and so much more. This time we are hoping to host up to
70 classic vehicles of all types. And whether or not you love old cars, we
think you will find something to enjoy.
Do you fancy showing your classic vehicle? Then please let us know.
We would really like to get as many as we can, whatever the condition –
all are welcome. We’re also doing a baking competition
with “car themed cakes” where you can let your creativity
shine. Why should Paul Hollywood have all the fun?
This year our theme is “Fearfully and Wonderfully
made.” We are celebrating things created with skill,
artistry, passion and fun - which is what many of us
can appreciate about vehicles. And it is not just old
cars - we have some ideas about how we might look
at some of the future cars too.
Most of all we would love you to be a part of
what we think will be a great day, because we
happen to believe people are the most special
creation of all. Join us and find out.
