It was time to mount up and ride out for a day at St David's in West Wales. Rick and I left Swansea at about 10.30am and ended up at St David's about 1.00pm. We parked the bikes on the high street and headed for St David's according to the sign posts in the town streets. When we came through the archways I was not prepared for the view of St David's. Stunning..... And the photograph just does not capture it well enough. St David's Cathedral has been around since the time of the Normans. Unlike other cathedrals St David's does not occupy high ground, but sits low in the hillside. It was wonderful to go round a place where people have pilgrimed to and prayed in over the centuries and still do. On the way back we stopped off for a meal. It was great! As we came out the cafe we met a couple who were having some ice cream, Rick said "it's not really the day for ice cream, is it?" this prompted a conversation about about bikes and faith. It turns out that the woman of the couple(Rev Dr Louise Heard) is a Baptist Minister in Haverford In Wales. "Would you like to preach on Sunday morning. At my church?" So I accepted, and it turns out that Louise and Bethesda Baptist will be looking at "Missional Community" this sunday morning. we left the car park elated, and returned to Swansea feeling that this was a God appointment. Roll on Sunday!
