One 2 Three Friday 31.3.23 with Sid Thurlow.

P H O E N I X   P L A Y E R
with Sid Thurlow.
One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring

Sid Thurlow, Assistant Pastor at The Elim Church in Ingatestone talked about how his life had been turned around. From often being in trouble at school, Sid drifted into petty crime and drugs. This destructive life-style resulted in over one hundred convictions and numerous prison sentences. On one occasion he went to football practice at the prison and enjoyed chatting with a fellow player. He was amazed to next see this man walking along the corridor wearing a clerical collar in his role as the prison chaplain. Engagement in Christian activities at the prison resulted in him becoming a Christian in 2006. However, this was not an instant moment when everything became easy. He married Laura in 2008. He described his first fifteen years as a believer as being a time of struggle, when the pull of old habits was very real. The transitional experience was joining Narcotics Anonymous and beginning a twelve step programme to recovery. Sid stated he will continue to live that programme every day of his life as he strives to improve. Having undertaken some theological training, Sid and Laura now live in Leigh on Sea. Here Sid runs one of the branches of the nation-wide organisation at Leigh Elim church, 143 Glendale Gardens, SS9 2BE. For more information check out https://www.believersinrecovery.co.uk In Leigh meetings are held every Thursday evening, beginning with dinner at 6.45 pm and the meeting at 7.30pm. Sid emphasised that everyone is welcome regardless of their faith. There are also on-line meeting.
