Having just arrived back from a weekend trial on the new ship Magellan, I am looking forward to our next Christian cruise aboard this larger ship, and found it to be very comfortable. Its roomy enough to have space but cosy enough to enjoy a chat with friends. The theatre is impressive and I know that Dana and Syd Little will enjoy singing with the ships orchestra, and offer us some excellent evening entertainment. Pam Rhodes will be presenting her Songs of Praise in the Magellan theatre too, joined by Dave Bilbrough who will also be presenting a special afternoon concert there.
I am am very much looking forward to our Life Stories interviews when we get to hear about personal experiences, faith and inspirations. I just hope that Ann Widdecombe won`t ask me to take her to the dance floor!
We will be enjoying more of those wonderful Sunday services in the theatre, led by Very Rev Andrew Mclellan and Rev. Rosemary Taylor joins him for their regular `Saint or Sailor?` inspirational reflections which will be held in one of the cosy lounges.
If you are joining us for this special cruise to celebrate Pam Rhodes new book, I will look forward to welcoming you aboard and I hope all the months of planning will enable you to rest and recharge on many different levels. Can we pray for good weather?
I have also been meeting with CMV who have agreed to another Christian Cruise next year, probably around Easter time. I will let you know details as soon as they are confirmed.
In the meantime, thank you again for your interest and support in our Christian cruises!
