Services will be held from Sunday 4th October, but as we will have to limit numbers people will need to tell us they would like to attend. You can do this through our contact page.

Transformed Worship
Dear Friends,
Transformed Worship
Romans 12: 1-3
When I say goodbye to the grandchildren I blow a kiss and they jump with outstretched arm to catch it. Then they blow one back and they shout: “Granddad! You dropped it!”
We had better start practicing ‘kiss catching’ for when we start services again because there will be no hugs or handshakes to welcome each other. We will also have to wear masks so must get used to smiling with our eyes and making our voices feel like a hug! We’ve had a lot of practice with our voices during many phone calls over the months so hopefully we can continue to make love speak through our masks.
Sleeping Through The Alarm
Dear Friends,
Matthew 26: 36-46
Sleeping through the alarm!
For some of us our faith can be like our smoke detector or fire alarm: It’s there to save us in an emergency, but for most of the time we don’t feel any need for it.
I had an annoying reminder that it is an ever presence in our home over the weekend. The alarm, that is, not my faith! It started beeping in the middle of the night when I was trying to sleep.
A selfish streak…
Dear Friends,
It probably goes against the gospel grain, but I am convinced we need to find a selfish streak to our faith if we are to be generous with our love.
I’m not encouraging an attitude of saving money for a rainy day when the poor are already being soaked in storms of injustice, persecution and oppression. No, I’m not affirming the wealth of rich young men who believe that following old habits of ritual and tradition will save us. (Luke 18: 18-26) What we need to save us, including me, is to get selfish with TIME and PRAYER!
Outreach Actvities
OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
We believe Church is an everyday activity with a rest for our spiritual refreshment on Sunday! Church is not in a building, but in the hearts of people who want to show the love of God in a community and the wider world. So Church works six days a week to create what is good for God and then gathers together for a rest at our Sunday services (10.30 am)
Your Kingdom Has Come
YOUR KINGDOM HAS COME….
Our Father in heaven,
we sing your praises
and thank you
that where your will is done
on earth as in heaven
your kingdom has come.
Thank you,
that where your Word is lived
your Daily Bread is shared
and where we have forgiven
we are healed of all our guilt.
My Selfish Prayer
MY SELFISH PRAYER…
Lord, I pray a selfish prayer just for me:
May I say what you want me to say.
May I do what you want me to do.
May I be who you want me to be.
Lord, may your will be done on earth in me
as it always is in heaven through you…. Amen
For Stormy Times
FOR STORMY TIMES…
Calm my storms into whispers, Lord.
Turn my waves into gentle ripples;
May the wind blow gently on my face.
Calm me, Lord, as you calmed the storm.
Walk with me through wind and wave.
Take my hand, save me from my fear.
Calm me, Lord, as you calmed the storm. Amen.

Love is music to the heart.
Dear Friends,
1 Corinthians 13
Love is music to the heart.
Music isn’t love to the ear!
As is usual during the day I was listening to UCB (United Christian Broadcasting) RADIO this week and was encouraged by the thought that God doesn’t hear what we hear.
