Going to church means little if Christ is absent from the way we live.

The Church was never meant to be just a building we visit once a week.
We are called to become His dwelling place— carrying His love, truth, holiness, and presence everywhere we go.

A real Christian life is not performance on Sundays,
but surrender every day.

May people encounter Jesus not only when we sit in a pew, but when they encounter us. 🙏🏻

Raised the roof this morning with some amazing music 🎶 along with a simple but beautiful chorus Father we Love you.
This is one of our choristers favourite chorus and she can never resist the descant. Even when the Choir Master says 'But as it's during Communion it may be better to pass on the descant'

'Challenge accepted was the reply' 🎶
Our choir family always keep amazing me how much they pull together and today it was much needed.
Choir motto
'Family first, Choir second'
Thankful for the gift of music and our organist Gordon - self taught 🎵 🎶
Have a good day folks and next week we have services in both parishes. This and St Mary of the Purification Blidworth 🙏

May 31, 2026 🌸
You’ve made it through more than you thought you could. The hard days. The silent battles. The moments where you felt tired, uncertain, or overwhelmed. And through it all... God has still been holding you. So as this month comes to a close, don’t only look at what’s unfinished. Look at the strength God gave you to keep going. 🙏

You are more loved than you realize. More supported than you feel. And never alone. Step into today with a grateful heart. Not because life is perfect, but because God is still faithful. “The Lord is my strength and my shield…” — Psalm 28:7 ❤️ If you need a place to slow down and reconnect with God, our worship playlists and devotionals are linked on our page—created to bring peace and encouragement into your everyday life. Everything is linked in our bio.
