PAUSE / STOP / PLAY

The Easter holiday is almost upon us and I’m sure that everyone is looking forward to the break. At the centre of it all lies this incredible story about a man’s last few hours and the days following his death. It’s the pivot point of history, the tipping point of creation, and together as a church family we work hard to let the story have its way on us. We make time for this by gathering on three occasions over three days. Thursday night (PAUSE), Friday afternoon (STOP), and Sunday morning (PLAY). Join us as we walk through it all …

40 DAYS FOR LIVING

LENT is an amazing world-wide phenomenon. Millions of ordinary people around the world will be using these 40 days to review and renew their
spiritual life in Christ and as a local church we will be joining in with it all and trying to make it our own. There are so many different ways of making the most of LENT and every generation has developed its own traditions but while this means that there are hundreds of ways to make it purposeful for us all it can also seem overwhelming. So we are trying to keep things simple. We start it all off …

CAFE THEOLOGY

I just wanted to draw your attention to Cafe Theology which will be starting next Wednesday evening (23rd January) 7.30pm and running for 6 weeks in Rose Cottage.

We will cover topics starting with Creation and the Fall and then Jesus, Atonement, Resurrection, the …

New Year Baptism

What better time to be baptised than at New Year!  We are so excited about the baptism service coming up this Sunday afternoon. Baptism is all about new life.  God’s grace has reached down to us and we are all invited to starting afresh in Christ.  Marking ourselves out as his disciples, receiving his forgiveness, love and life, and being equipped by his Spirit, we baptise adults by full immersion.  It’s dramatic and powerful.  Everyone is welcome so don’t miss out on this exciting service right at the start of the year.

New Year Prayer Weekend

As we head towards Christmas and then the start of another year we are starting 2013 with a weekend dedicated to prayer. There will be a number of led and ‘together’ times as well as space for people to pray on their own or in groups (Why not come as a formation group for a slot). All activities will take place in the Rec House which will be set up with prayer stations and resources to guide praying. If you are unable to get down to the Rec House across the weekend we will be providing some foci for people …

Advent

The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in and the days are getting shorter. Christmas is around the corner and our attention is being fought for by every hording and advert. Advent and adverts couldn’t be more different. Entering into a time of Advent reflection is the greatest antidote to advert-mania. Detoxify yourself by embracing the rhythm and pace of Advent. Four sundays, four weeks, of preparation for the coming of the new King.
