Our wonderful friendly toddler group starts up again on September 9th - we have 4 spaces for new families to join! We limit our spaces to 15 families a term so that people really can get to know one another and make friends, after all, it can be quite lonely with a new baby and we all need friends. Every session we have free play, a story time, singing and music and a craft activity. Children feel safe and enjoy their time with us, we know the parents and carers do too. If you would like to join, or know of someone else who would, please get in touch and feel free to share the details.

This past Sunday, we began a mini-series entitled "Habakkuk: Living by Faith in a Troubled World." In the first message, Adrian shared a sermon titled "Questioning God," based on Habakkuk 1:1-2:1.

1. Bring Your Laments to God (1:2-4)
Habakkuk cries out to God, questioning His silence amid injustice. Like him, we are invited to bring our struggles honestly before God, trusting that He listens.

2. Trust That God Is Always at Work (1:5-11)
God responds, revealing that He is using the ruthless Babylonians to fulfill His purposes. Though His ways may be difficult to understand, Romans 8:28 reminds us that He works all things for good.

3. Live as People of Faith (1:12)
Habakkuk shifts from doubt to trust, reaffirming God’s sovereignty: “My God, my Holy One, my Rock.” Faith means trusting God’s character, even when we don’t understand His plan.

4. Embrace the Tension Between Now and the Not Yet (1:13-2:1)
Habakkuk chooses to wait and watch in faith. We, too, must trust God’s timing, knowing He is working for our ultimate good.

Conclusion:
Faith is not about having all the answers but trusting in who God is. Like Habakkuk, may we always return to God’s faithfulness.
