Christmas and Rainbows

I was honoured to be asked to assist in the leading of the worship at a retreat day led by Jennifer Rees Larcombe at the Red Hill Christian Centre on 17 Dec 2011. Whilst taking great pleasure in serving with the main lead through voice and poetry, it was a wonderful opportunity for some down time and reflection on the realities behind the Christmas festivities that we often forget. The day was full of both laughter and sadness, reflection and fun. During the lunch break we witnessed a beautiful full arched rainbow stretching from one side of the fields to another with the Red Hill barn in the middle. As I gazed at the wonderfully clear colours, from one perspective the rainbow ended slap bang in the middle of the farm house roof. It was a beautiful picture to see which many of us were fortunate to witness. I only regret not having taken a photo!
