What can Jesus do with what you already have?

As we reflect on Jesus feeding the five thousand, we discover that he didn’t ask the disciples to bring what they didn’t have. He simply asked them to bring what they did have - and place it in his hands

🙏 What might God do with your offering - your gifts, your time, or your faith when you place them in his hands?

Come, let us turn our hearts towards God

Today our readings were: 2 Kings 4:42-44 and Mark 6:30-44

Today is a very special day for Azeem!

We’re wishing Azeem every blessing as he celebrates his Ordination and Induction Service today. It has been a joy to have him spend time with us during his training and we are grateful for all he has shared with us

May God bless him richly in this new chapter of ministry and guide him as he begins this exciting journey! 🙏🏻

For those of you that can’t be there in person, you can watch the service on Zoom via the details below

SUNDAYS

As you (may or may not) know, we have two services on some Sundays - The Gathering and the Sanctuary, both offering different styles of worship

The Gathering is our more easy-going, vibrant, relaxed worship service especially suitable for those who are new to (or just looking into) the Christian faith, or who prefer a more informal style of worship

The Sanctuary is our more traditional style service

Joint services are a mixture of both

BOTH services start at 10:30am and we catch up together over tea/coffee afterwards

One of the services is streamed live on Facebook and is available to catch up later

Keep an eye on social media and our website for dates, alternatively send us a message and we can let you know!

Junior Church - Junior Church is available for the youngsters most Sundays, including ‘Sunday Club’ which will be one Sunday a month. Make sure you let Sue and Sue know your up to date contact details so you can be sent the latest programme

Crèche - we hope to be able to provide a crèche every Sunday, if there’s no one available you’re welcome to take your little ones into the nursery but you will need to stay with them

Come as you are, we’d love to see you - there’s a seat waiting for you and friends you haven’t met yet!

This Sunday: Bring What You Have - Now

What happens when we place what we have into Jesus’ hands? As we reflect on the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, we discover that he doesn’t ask us to produce what we don’t have. Instead, he invites us to bring what we do have - and trust him with it

Come and discover what God can do with even the smallest offering when it is placed in his hands

Our service will be led by Rev. Jane Wade and the Worship Team

There will also be the opportunity to have Communion

The service will be streamed live on Facebook and will be available to catch up later

The chapel will be open for prayer 10-10:20am

We’d love to see you 😊

Next Sunday there will be The Gathering and the Sanctuary services, both starting at 10:30am
