Simon Benham’s Blog
Hello, and thanks for making it to my blog. My name is Simon and I am the Senior Pastor here at Kerith Community Church.
This blog is a place for me to share thoughts on pretty much anything which takes my interest. This will often be related to things happening in our church community or life lessons I am in the process of learning. It could also be reflections on current world events, reviews of books I am reading or commentary on how well Newcastle United are doing in the league! You just never know what you're going to get...
I hope you find this blog interesting and insightful. If you have any ideas on topics you'd like me to write about, then please email me and I’ll see what I can do. Also, if you’d like to get these blogs sent straight to your email inbox, you can subscribe using the button below.
Happy reading,

Week of Prayer - ‘Let your light shine before others…’ (Matt 5:16)
In today’s Week of Prayer and Fasting 2025 devotional, we explore Matthew 5:16: “Let your light shine before others…” We are called not only to breathe in God’s presence but also to breathe it out—living faithfully in our families, workplaces, schools, and communities. Through small acts of love, patience, and integrity, God’s presence becomes tangible to those around us. Join us in praying for grace to be a faithful presence in every sphere of life and to reflect Christ’s love in everything we do.
