This month our all age service coincides with Pentecost, sometimes known as the birthday of the church, and the celebration of God’s giving of Holy Spirit. Shona leads the service as we think about all of the good things that God give us through his Spirit and his promises that are reinforced by that same Spirit.
Mike and Lynne lead our sung worhship this week as we invite Holy Spirit to come into our lives and renew us once again.
Shona leads our all age service for April as we mark the start of Holy Week for 2025 with the traditional celebration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, donkey and all. We are reminded that this all happened to fulfil the prophecies in the Old Testament, particularly the one in Zechariah who prophecied about Jesus entering Jerusalem riding on a colt.
Chris leads us in our prayers as we respond in a very unique way. Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Shona leads our first all age service of 2025, continuing our theme from last year looking at Old Testament heroines. This week it is the turn of Deborah, the only female leader of Israel in the time of the Judges. Facing attacks from the surrounding nations Deborah leads the people through a time of hardship and yet never gives up on trusting God.
Mike leads our sung worship this week.
Our All Age Service for November continues our theme of looking at Old Testament Heroines. This month Shona focusses on Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel. Hannah was considered barren and unable to have children, yet she never gave up praying to God for a child. How can we be persistent in prayer?
We also pause with the rest of the nation to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.
Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship this week.
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.
Shona leads June’s All Age Service, carrying on our theme of More & More and this month thinking about more and more faith. What different things can we do to help us grow in our faith in God? Susan, James and Chris all give examples from their lives of times when their faith has grown. We also have an introduction to the mission of the month, GenR8, from Lynn Hawkins.
Pete and Nick lead our sung worship with assistance from Ricky.
God’s love is big. Really big. Really, really, really big. It’s not anything we could possibly measure. Shona leads our all age service for March, looking at the “cycle of God’s love”:
1) God loves us
2) We have to share that love with others
3) Leads to praise and worship
Pete leads our sung worship this week.
As we enter Advent for another year, Shona kicks us off by leading us in our all-age service for December. In the service we look at three things we can do to prepare ourselves for Christmas: we can 1) Wait in, 2) hope and 3) praise.
Chris leads us in our prayers this week whilst Mike and Ricky lead our sung worship.
Shona leads our all-age service for August looking at the subject of prayer. Who, how, when and where do we pray? Chris also shares a reflection based around the Lord’s prayer whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Shona leads our all-age service for June, looking at the story of Zacchaeus. How did one encounter with Jesus turn a selfish, self-serving, bullying and greedy tax collector’s life around so that he eventually gave half of his money to the poor?
