THE WIMBLEDON BETTER HEALTH FAIR - MINISTRY BEYOND WORDS

"Last Sunday was amazing." I've heard that statement so many times this week. The Health Fair idea came through Dr Adam Ibrahim who has recently joined the Wimbledon International Seventh-day Adventist Church. By Sunday, 20 July at least a third of the church family was ministering in one way or another. That was the first amazing part of the day - seeing everyone ministering with the Spiritual Gifts God had given them. The second amazing thing was how people were greeted with balloons on the st...

Cherry Aid: Support the great British cherry!

Cherries are without a doubt my favourite homegrown fruit: they taste amazing, look lovely in the trees, make fantastic puddings and are as much a part of the British summer as rain and Wimbledon. But over the last 50 years, we have lost 90% of our cherry orchards and now import around 95% of the cherries we eat -- not good for food miles, our economy or the taste of the fruit, which is at its best when bought locally and in season.

Cilit hands 2nd round exit to defending champion

The Croat Marin Cilit, currently ranked no 43, created an early surprise in Gstaad by defeating title holder Paul-Henri Mathieu in two sets, 6-3, 6-4.

In the quarter finals Cilit (whose new nickname has to be "Cilit-Bang"!) will meet Igor Andreev. Still in fine form, the Russian did away with another Frenchman Florent Serra in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. Switzerland's...
