THREE churches featured in a talk by local Baptist Pastor Steven Reed when he was guest at the recent Hemyock Women summer barbecue.

About 30 women heard Pastor Reed speak warmly about three churches that had particularly helped him in his journey of faith – all of them from the Methodist denomination.

Chard Methodist Church was where a neighbour took him and his brother to Sunday School and opened his heart to spiritual matters.

Thomas Street Methodist Church in Portadown, Northern Ireland, was where, as a soldier, he finally committed his life to faith in Jesus Christ with a view one day of becoming a Pastor.

In 1986 it was at Park End Road Methodist Church in the Forest of Dean that he married his wife Hazel under the ministry of Josey Cunanan a minister from the Philippines who gave the couple a service with a south-east Asian flavour.

He said these churches and the people that attended them were God’s means of guiding his life to becoming the Minister at Hemyock Baptist Church.
