As it is the first Sunday of the month we hold our regular All Age Service for September. We continue a mini-series looking at the heroines of the Old Testament, those women whose impact resonates down the ages in their service to God. This month Shona looks at Rahab, a Canaanite who God not only saved but wove into the family line of the Messiah. We see how her act of faith save her family and ultimately all who put their faith in Jesus.
We conclude our summer mini-series of studies by focussing on Peter’s experience of the resurrected Jesus and his reinstatement as the rock on which the Church will be built following his denial of Christ in the hours leading up to the crucifixion. Chris leads us through Jesus and Peter’s conversation on the shores of Galilee.
Ant leads the rest of the service with a illustration using the tools of his trade whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
This week we continue our summer mini-series looking at familiar passages of the Bible in different ways. Andy leads us through the reflections on the events of Jesus revealing himself first to some of the disciples and then later to all of them, particularly focussing on the initial doubt and subsequent faith of Thomas.
Chris leads us in communion as we once again remember Jesus’ great sacrifice whilst Mike leads our sung worship.
This week Chris starts a short summer series inviting us to look at familiar Bible passages in unfamiliar ways. This first week we re-visit Mary Magdalene’s experience as she meets the resurrected Jesus on the day that he rose from the dead.
Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship whilst Lynne also leads prayers for peace to come to the violence that has erupted in our cities over the past weeks.
As it is the first Sunday of the month we hold our regular All Age Service for August. We begin a new mini-series looking at the heroines of the Old Testament, those women whose impact resonates down the ages in their service to God. This month James looks at Miriam, the sister of Moses. We…
We carry on with our series in 2 Corinthians with Chris this week looking at chapters 9 and 10 where we find Paul defending himself against his critics, the so-called “super apostles”. In chapter 9 he reassures the Corinthians that the gifts that they provide will be used to lend support during the famine in Jerusalem and not to line the pockets of him and his companions. Then in chapter 10 he writes about where his authority to preach comes from and how he can boast of his achievements through God and not through his own sense of self-importance.
Karen leads the rest of the service whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
We continue our look at 2 Corinthians this week, with Chris looking at chapters 7 and 8. In these chapters Paul expresses his great relief that he had finally been reunited with Titus in Macedonia, and rejoices that his previous (now missing) letter to the Corinthian church had been recieved as God intended and did not harm them as he feared. He also speaks about our giving creating joy. We are reminded that Jesus became poor for our sake so that we may become rich through his sacrifice.
Ant leads the rest of the service, taking part of his inspiration from TikTok (of all places!), whilst Nick and Pete lead our sung worship.
We carry on with our studies in 2 Corinthians this week, with Chris looking at how Paul looks at the honour that is given to those in service to God. We thought a couple of weeks ago at how we are called to be ambassadors for Christ and in this passage Paul initially paints what on the surface is a not-very-inviting picture of what this may entail, but reminds us that our goal is ultimately to live for God and be set apart as his holy people. We are looked on kindly by God because of our sufferings, not in spite of them.
Andy leads the rest of the service with a rare sporting analogy that may very well be less relevant by about 10pm tonight (14th July) than it was this morning whilst Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship.
We conclude our All Age Service series with perhaps the most challenging subject of all. How can we become more and more like Jesus? Chris looks at the fruit of the spirit and shows us how by striving to obtain those attributes we can become more like Christ – the only person in history who was able to exhibit all nine!
Pete leads our sung worship this week and we also pray for our Mission of the Month for July, Stand By Me
Our series in 2 Corinthians continues with Chris speaking on chapters 4 and 5. In these two chapters Paul sets out the reasoning for his ministry, why he feels called to do what he did and preach the way that he does. We particularly focus on they way that Paul is called to preach reconciliation through Jesus and how as Christians we are ambassador’s of God’s coming kingdom here on Earth.
Ant leads the rest of the service with some reflections on his time away at Sizewell last week, whist Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
