‘The kids LOVED it but the adults loved it even more—somehow your holy foolishness touched us all and we were somehow blessed and different!’ |

“Thank you for the day you spent with us. It was a fabulous time … thought provoking, challenging and moving … the fun of faith was so evident. Thank you for your energy, patience, humour and tenderness. I had seen your performance before, but so much spoke to me in a new way today; it was refreshing, uplifting and moving for me personally. It was also a great blessing for our church”. The’Roly effect’ will certainly be felt for a long time. |

“Thank you for your ministry. People enjoyed themselves—whatever next in church! People entered into worship, learned and prayed together. What will remain in my mind and heart is a rich experience of genuinely All Age Worship—not a children’s service, not a service excluding children, but one in which people of many different ages, experiences and needs were able to engage and receive something important at their own level” |
