Moving on boldly
These verses are so relevant to our times. “Moses said to the LORD, ‘Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, LORD, are with these people and that…
Trusting God in uncertain times…
We are meeting online during November 2020, but hope to be meeting again physically soon. You can book in now for future physical gatherings or see our YouTube page for past online and live-streamed services, or use this window for the most recent service: During this time, our Small Groups are still the mainstay of…
Living the Vision
Love When Paul, who loved and was praising God for the Philippian Christians, was praying with thanksgiving for those believers he said this: “This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight…” (Phil 1:9).

Do you recall?
I wonder what verses you have learnt off by heart? Its a dying discipline for many, but it’s a great thing to do (see Ps 119:11, for example!). One of the first verses I learnt because I decided to (rather than as a requirement for getting a prize at Sunday School!) was Eph 2:8-9. I…
