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,…
This Sunday we welcome Alan & Megan Barker who the church has supported as missionaries for 25 years through BMS. Alan gives us an update on some of the projects that they have been working on in Nepal over the last couple of years, particularly in the area of disaster relief and Megan’s calling as an occupational therapist. Megan then speaks on the outpouring of the Spirit through spiritual gifts, reminding us that God gives gifts generously, equally and freely and not to see ourselves as any more or less deserving of those gifts than others.
Chris leads the rest of the service as we think about the ascension of Jesus into heaven whilst Mike leads our sung worship.
Note: a small portion of the service and sermon has been trimmed to preserve the privacy and safety of some of those that Alan and Megan work with and live amongst in Nepal.
This week we celebrate Harvest with a visit from one of the missions we support as a church: the Doxa Project. Ray Balmer gives us an overview of the organisation from it’s beginnings right through to the present day and speaks on the work that they support in Kenya.
Ant leads the rest of the service (he’s been to Kenya, don’t you know!) thinking about how we can be thankful to God for all of His provision.
For our 2021 Harvest service Neil Harris from Mercy Ships brings us a look at what the organisation does, how it helps the less priveged people in the world and what we can do to support their work.
Andy leads the rest of the service with a reminder about why we celebrate Harvest and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
s to do as a church at this time in this place.

James leads the rest of the service with prayers and a short reflection, and Lynne has chosen the music this week.
