The Editor Speaks: If you want to feel good go to Keswick

Keswick is a very picturesque small town in Wales in Great Britain. If you want to feel good go there. Even when it is raining – and it is the majority of the time. But when the sun comes out – what a magical and inspiring sight.

However, all this week the sun does shine on Keswick and it is here on Grand Cayman at the Agape Family Worship Centre in George Town on Fairbanks Road.

I know as I was there last Sunday night. The church, and it is one of the Island’s biggest, was filled almost to capacity. The car park was overflowing.

It started at 7pm – I arrived fifteen minutes late – and the First Baptist Sanctuary Choir were in full swing.

If you just went to hear this choir perform you would have felt good – very good.

And there was more to come.

The speaker was Charles Price (Recently Retired Senior Pastor of The Peoples Church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada – according to handout) who was originally from England but emigrated to an even colder country.

He spoke about Moses and it was a modern interpretation but he didn’t stray at all away from the Biblical story – he just made it even more interesting. He was witty and his forty minute talk seemed to me to be only ten. Ten minutes is only what I can usually tolerate without yawning so I was amazed when he finished to find four times my attention span had shot by.

I did feel inspired and I will be there every night this week.

He brought along his wife, Hilary, who is also a speaker. She is taking the lunchtime sessions at the Family Life Centre (behind Church of God Walkers Road) from 12:10-12:50pm (lunch available for $5).

From the handout:
“He (Charles) has a weekly hour-long television programme, Living Truth, which is broadcast coast to coast in Canada each week, as well as in the U.S.A, United Kingdom, Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand, Guyana, South Korea and Japan.

“He has preached in over 80 countries on 5 continents around the World and is the author of 7 books, some of which have been translated into German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Farsi, Korean and Latvian.”’

The topic is “Finding intimacy with God” as Moses certainly did.

You don’t have to be a Christian or have any religious beliefs at all to enjoy the time there. No matter what, I can assure you you will be inspired and you will feel good.
