moving - anyone recomend a church- also, any good books?

[MuchLessTiredNow]

Just moving to Shropshire - anyone know of any good churches with good children's programmes within 30 mins of north shrops? Also, have been in a bit of a desert time for a while and am not where I was, IFSWIM, anyone got any good books to recommend which would inspire me?

Can't recommend a church, but Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is quite a very good read when you're a bit up in the air and not sure where you're going to land...

It's just a novel though, not a self-help book, not sure if that's what you want.

thank you - I will go to Amazon!

Assuming you're speaking of a Christian desert, Wasteland is a good book (comes from a C o E / Evangelical standpoint if that helps at all)

thank you - yes, it is a spiritual desert

Shropshire? What do you mean you're going to Shropshire!!

Oh, and I'll send you a book we've just read called Captivating - a bit touchy-feely but very thought-provoking.

Not till 2009, love, but planning ahead! When this tour is over, we're trying the real world for a while - a bit sick of patch politics etc etc.

Good luck! Someone on another FS thread is wanting info about Herford. Thought you might be the person to ask...

Ok, I'll go look

can you link me, scoots? Can't find it.

Here you go

www.mdmc.org.uk/ Link may not work, but is definitely a good, lively sort of church with lots of young families, kids etc. Website seems to be partly under construction at the moment.

Thank you - the link does work and I will go and have a look at it.
