My Dock journey began with a surprise email in March 2010 inviting me to a presentation at the Pump House in TQ.At that time I was preparing to move from the church where I was serving to one a little closer to TQ! Coincidence or God-incident? I had nothing to lose, so I accepted the invite and went along, free coffee clinching the deal! What was this Dock thing all about? Well, it was music to my ears, I was hooked! I had been working on an MA in mission focusing on the Emerging Church ….. hmmm coincidence or God-incident? That  all took place  in March 2010. Fast forward to December 2010. During that period I had kept in touch with Chris but hadn’t got involved. Then I received another email announcing that I was now the ‘Methodist woman in the Dock’ (thank you Rev Des Bain, Home mission secretary MCI) Further conversations took place; the Church Council in Sydenham Methodist graciously agreed to my very part time role as a Chaplain to TQ.

Fast Forward to April 2011, if you have followed Chris’ blog then you will know a commissioning service was held on 17th April, and we both look forward to the day when other Chaplains come on board!So far this has been a journey of lots of God incidents and I am so excited about what God has already done, is doing and will continue to do on this journey!
