I moved to Staffordshire from North Wales in 2016 to work as a data analyst, and after visiting a number of churches, joined St Andrew’s. Since first responding to God as a child my faith has had its ups and downs, but my experience has been that the pursuit of money, possessions and pleasure doesn’t offer lasting fulfilment. God’s way is better – worshipping Him, meeting with other Christians and serving others are some of the keys to doing life right. Not always easy, but thankfully God is very patient – you’re never too far away to turn back to Him.
