"One of the deepest longings we carry isn't simply to be admired.
It's to belong.
We want to know there is a place where we don't have to perform, impress, or constantly prove ourselves. A place where we're welcomed—not because we've earned it, but because we're loved.
Perhaps that's why loneliness remains such a defining experience in our culture. We have more ways than ever to stay connected, yet genuine belonging often feels just out of reach.
The Christian story begins with a God who doesn't merely tolerate us from a distance.
He invites us into His family.
Our belonging isn't built on shared interests, political agreement, or personal success. It's rooted in His grace.
And when we truly believe that, we're freed to extend the same welcome to others."
—Michael Keller

Good morning! This Sunday is a 'Communion@King's' morning. Fellowship - Worship - Communion..... prayer and more time for fellowship.
Communion Sundays are slightly different from our usual Sunday.
The children stay in (there is no Zone on Communion Sundays) ....we take our time over communion... we give more time for praying with one another (if required)... and we have more time for fellowship.
We don't have a usual teaching time on Communion Sundays.
Small meal...HUGE meaning.
We gather at St Cedd's at 10.15am for refreshments - and begin our worship at 10.30am.
You would be very welcome to join us. See less

Good morning. This morning sees our final dip into the refreshing waters of our "Summer in the Psalms" August series. We've thoroughly enjoyed the family members who have opened up a Psalm for us over these August weeks. Same again next year!
This morning Peter is being bold with taking on Psalm 119. Perhaps not all of it....but enough to encourage our hearts and minds.
We gather at 10.15am for refreshments and begin our service at 10.30am. You would be very welcome to visit us.

We begin to gather at 10.15am with refreshments and start our service at 10.30am
