It was a great day! The sun shone, the BBQ was perfect, the games were fun, the music was fab, the atmosphere was relaxed, the church looked brilliant, the cakes were amazing and everyone had a great time!. We think about 250 people came and enjoyed it all. Helen was delighted with winning £25 for her contribution to the painting that Mike organised, and Ruth thinks that her team of face painters decorated about 100 children. Tory noted the steady stream of people wanting to have their nails done, and Dave ran out of coconuts in the first hour! So thank you to everyone who made the day such a joyful event – from those who came to set up, to those …

Make sure you have the following date in your diary : Friday 17th – Sunday 19th September. The aim is to take as many men away on a wilderness camping weekend in Wales and to enjoy quality time away from it all taking in the beauty of the world we live in and reconnecting with each other and ourselves. Leaving Friday night after work we will make the journey across the bridge and up the valleys of South Wales and set up camp. Saturday will feature a rugged walk and perhaps some climbing. Sunday will be more gentle as we relax and enjoy the outdoors before returning home, alive, weary, and happy. Get in touch …

1 Timothy 6:12: Fight the good fight of the faith.
We live in world at war.
How does this battle effect us?
How do we live in this war zone?
How do we engage the powers?
How do we stand firm in the face of attack?
How do we discern what’s behind it all and make sense of what’s going on?
These and other important questions need answering and over the next few months we are going to see if we can unpack the truth about the battle we find ourselves living our lives in. There is a fight going on. The question is whether we are fighting the ‘good’ one or not.
Join us on Sunday mornings as we explore these themes together and as we seek …

As a Christian community we are increasingly aware that life is all about connection – our connection with God and with others. There is so much about connection in the bible… so much in the story… perhaps you could say that it’s a all about connection – with God, with each other, with the world around us… In it we read stories of connection and stories of disconnection, we read stories of how God wanted to reconnect us to himself, and how we repeatedly disconnect ourselves from him and other, and we read stories of Jesus who was so connected with his Father and yet allowed himself to become disconnected so that he could reconnect us to God.
This is what …

Every year we review our life together and look ahead to the challenges and tasks that lie in front of us and our annual review is coming up on Sunday April 25th. Join us to look back and forward. Share stories of what God has been doing. Listen to others as they tell of his love. Reflect on what God is calling us to in the future.
As I have been reflecting myself, here are 5 things that I think it’s important for us to remember:
We live in a war zone
Every single one of us in Christ has a role to play
Only together, not individually, do we make up the body of Christ
If it’s not ‘authentic’ we shouldn’t do it
It’s about the kingdom, …

The empty tomb gets you thinking. Dead people stay dead. That’s what the word means… Dead. Dead is unambiguous… Dead is dead. And so the empty tomb gets you thinking… It gets me thinking. As for me I believe that Jesus is no longer dead. I believe that he is alive. I believe that the empty tomb tells us a crazy but simple truth… that Jesus rose from the dead. I believe it… And it shapes every part of my life.
For a start it shapes the way I see God. It demonstrates to me that he is more powerful than death – that other counterfeit power that takes us all one day and stakes a claim to be the power above all powers. It tells …
