Hello

Hello and welcome to my blogg. In truth I dont really know what I am doing with this but thought I would give it a go. Ive always been interested in writing and have often created pieces of fiction just for something to do and then in my employment I have to create training materials for the porgrammes I deliver. I'm also a celebrant and a Christian Minister and conduct weddings, funerals and baby naming ceremonies, which throw up all sorts of different situations as you can imagine. So who am I. Well to give you my official title I am Rev.Pastor Chris Nuttall. I do have letters after my name which denote my professional standing for my employed role as a employability tutor. You are probably thinking why, as an ordained minister, do I work as a tutor. Well the answer to that is simple. I belong to a small church in the village where I live. It is a Baptist church and I love it and I was its Pastor between 2012 and 2017. The issue is that Baptist Churches do not receive any central funding to support ministers. They are paid their salary through money that is collected during services etc and if you have enough church members giving enough, you can pay the salary, if not then not. Obviously this then means that I have to earn a living doing other work and I have been working in the Welfare to Work sector for the past twenty years or so. Only recently have I taken the decision to start my own business as a celebrant - you can check out my site at www.chrisnuttalllifeevents.co.uk to get more information on this. Just a little bit about me. I am married to Tracy and we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this year. We have four fantastic children (all grown) whom we are extremely proud of and they are all doing their own great things. I have some medical issues, which although do affect me I try not to let them effect me. I thank the Lord that I wake up every day and he allows me to function to the best of my ability. I will hopefully post more as I get more used to doing it and will try and put some interesting content on for you to have a look at.
