Love: The Invitation to Trust – Advent 2025, Week Four

In the final of our Advent series we look at the invitation that God gives us to trust in Him and the Son he sent to save us. Chris speaks on the love that God has for us, despite all our failings, that he sent Jesus to be one of us, live amongst us, and ultimately to die for us.

Karen leads the rest of the service as we share Communion together for the final time this year and Mike leads our sung worship.

To Seek and Save the Lost

This week we were visited by Jim Gourlay from Asia Link. Jim speaks about some of the gospel-spreading work he witnessed when travelling to Nepal earlier in the year and how the church in that country is one of the fastest-growing in the world. As part of that Jim speaks on the story of Zaccheus,…

Remembrance Service 2025

This month our all age service coincides with Remembrance Sunday, when we come together as a nation to remember and pray for those who have served and given their lives in conflict. Chris reminds us that only through the cross of Jesus can true peace be obtained.

Mike and Lynne lead our sung worship.

The Emmaus Road

This week we welcome our outgoing regional minister, Gale Richards, who speaks on the encounter of the two disciples with Jesus on the Emmaus road. They were unable to recognise Jesus until he reveals himself to them. He now reveals himself to the whole world. Do we recognise him too?

Parables of Jesus: Only Doing Our Duty

Chris leads our all age service for September, continuing to look at the parables of Jesus. This month we look at how we respond to God when we have completed the works he has given to us to do. God invites us to be both his servants and his friends. How can we possibly react to that other than worship?

Mike leads our sung worship for this week.

Parables of Jesus: The Sower

Shona leads our all age service for July, continuing our mini-series looking at Jesus’ many parables. This time it is the parable of the sower. We are reminded that when we recieve the good news of Jesus we are to pass it on to others so that God can reap a crop multiple times that which was sown.

Put it into Practice

Chris is away this week and so Graham steps into his place to speak about Jesus’ commands. Sometimes it is tempting to wonder why we should put Jesus’ requests of us into practice. Graham takes us through three events in Luke’s gospel, each of which give us compelling evidence as to who Jesus is and…

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer: Luke 11

This week we conclude our short series looking at Jesus’ teaching on prayer. We started the series looking at Matthew’s account of Jesus’ teaching about the Lord’s Prayer and we conclude with Luke writing about the same event. As Chris is away at the Baptist Assembly, Peter Wells speaks on how we can be bold in our prayer life and how our whole lives can become lives of prayer.

Ant leads the rest of the service with some thoughts about our latest new friend, Jim (you had to be there…), whilst Ricky and Dave lead our sung worship.

Parables of Jesus: The Banquet

James leads our All Age Service for May, continuing our look at the parables of Jesus. This time it’s the parable Jesus told about the Banquet. We learn to be humble, not taking the most important place at the table but instead sitting in the least position and awaiting our invitation.

Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship this week.

Parables of Jesus: The Samaritan

This week we held our All Age Service for March and start a new series looking at the parables that Jesus told. We begin with probably the most famous of them all! Chris speaks on the context surrounding Jesus’ telling of the parable and reveals to us that it’s not really about what you might…
