In Psalm 119 the psalmist says that God’s word is a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. In the next in our Starting with God series Chris looks at how the word of God is essential to our journey, guiding our way through the darkness of life and illuminating the true path to Jesus.

As we prepare for the end of Chris’ sabbatical period and his return next week, this Sunday we took the opportunity to look back on our experiences of this time.

We also have a time for sharing what other members of the congregation have learned, whilst Susan leads a reflection looking at the Israelites taking the memorial stones from the middle of the Jordan river as they finally crossed into the promised land. Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Roger Standing leads a question and answer session at our church away day.
