Five years ago TODAY :-)

Five years ago TODAY was my first official day as Medway Campus Chaplain. WOW!!  So many memories, so much fun ... World Cafe, TABLEtalk, day trips, Bring & Share lunches, picnics, film nights, bowling, graduations, and so the list goes on. My life has been enriched by the many students and staff from the Medway campus who have crossed my path during that time.  

Yes, many of you will remember that I was around at the University of Greenwich prior to May 2017, but it's been so great to have a more formal position as part of the Medway family. Plus, I get paid to do a job I love!!!

I've been reviewing my blog for the past five years and below are just some of my favourite photos (well, 'some' is rather an understatement), along with a number of the many, many messages I've received.
