A country road with clouds in the distanceShare went live three weeks ago and since then we've received lots of positive feedback, ranging from 'Fab!' to 'I've just been looking at one of the most attractive sites I've seen for a while - well done!'

It's lovely to read remarks like this. Don't stop – keep them coming. All these warm wishes are good for the soul!

But as I've said to a number of people, if all we've produced is a nice-looking website with a few pretty pictures, then we've failed. The purpose of Share is to connect people so that they can share with each other – lessons learned, and mistakes made – both highs and lows in their work for God.

With this in mind, I have created two new pages: Things that went well and Things to learn from. These pages come under the heading: Your stories.

It would be great if you could use these pages to share one or two lessons from your experience. Just click the yellow 'Comment' link on the page, and type your gems of wisdom – even if it's just one sentence. Remember - that nugget of knowledge you take for granted might be exactly what someone needs to read right now.

Close-up of computer keyboardCheck these pages regularly – someone might have replied to your comment, or left useful comments of their own.

And if you enjoyed leaving a comment, please let us know what you think of the rest of the site. Each page has a 'Comment' link near the bottom. We want to know what we've got right, what we've got wrong, what we've missed out, or anything else you want to share with other Share readers.

Keep those comments coming!

Thanks for changing my life

After six years in parish ministry, and starting to become disillusioned with maintaining the institutional church, I discovered Fresh Expressions. Now, after much planning and praying, I have been contracted by an inner city parish in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada as a Mission Priest attempting to start a Saturday evening worship for families. We are using whatever we can find coming out of the UK and this website is yet another fantastic resource! I have bookmarked you and will be making daily visits. God Bless
