To know Christ better and to make Christ better known
Maybe you remember we got some young people together back in October as we began to reshape our ministry for Yr8+.
They have been meeting up since then and a new ministry is being launched next Friday 15 January … watch this space for more info….

“Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.”
This quote is attributed to Martin Luther and strikes at the heart of what it means to be a busy church. Not so actively busy with activities and programmes that we neglect the very reason we exist – a relationship with our Creator. Prayer is a simple two-way conversation between you and God. It can be helpful when others ask us to pray for something specific. It focuses the mind and the conversation with God. We want to help you pray more specifically for our community, parish, and ourselves enabling us to build a strong wall and fortress ensuring our light shines brightly in the darkness. If you would like to receive regular updates with pointers for prayer, then please sign up to our prayer group.

This Sunday 22nd November we will be both in-person and on-line at 10.30am
More details will follow early next week about our plans for the coming weeks and indeed over the Christmas period.
We’d love you to join us for LIFE GROUPS in a 5 week series connecting our Sunday service to our Monday-Saturday lives.
Each week we will be looking at how our Sunday gathering can help our us live our Monday-Saturdays differently as we worship the creator and sustainer of the universe in all that we do.
It isn’t another thing to add to your to-do list. It is a passionate call to allow God to expand our view of worship.
We’ll be running different groups one within the church building meeting weekly in a socially distant manner and others online.
If you’re interested and would like to join please follow the link
