Restoration (Ezekiel 47:10)

This week we held our All Age Service for April as Shona leads us in thinking about part of Ezekiel’s vision where the dead sea is transformed from a salty and lifeless body of water into a sea teeming with life like the Mediterranean. We hear testimony from members of the congregation of how God has restored their own “dead seas” into seas full of life.

We end the service with an extended period of sung worship led by Pete and Nick as we welcome the Fuel Cast crew to document the faith stories of several of those in the congregation over the next couple of days.

Joy: The Echo of Good News – Advent 2025, Week Three

Shona leads our All Age service for December, continuing our advent themes. This week we were thinking about Joy. There is a difference between joy with a little “j” and joy with a capital “J”, this Christmastime we need to remember that true Joy (with a capital “J”) can only be achieved by finding Jesus.

Pete and Nick lead our sung worship 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.

Mike leads our sung worship this week.

Pentecost 2025

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.

Palm Sunday 2025

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.

Old Testament Heroines: Deborah

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.

Old Testament Heroines: Hannah

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.

Old Testament Heroines – Rahab

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.

More & More Faith

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.

More and More Love

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.
