We reflected on balance, rest, light and hope yesterday. As well as making conker soap!

Anyone is very welcome to join us next time - 3pm on Sunday 1st Nov. There is no pressure to join in and you don't have to know or believe anything in particular 😊🍁

A few photos from our Lammas gathering, where Oli challenged us to think of a phrase to symbolise what the autumnal season will bring/what we might focus on - akin to the adage for Summer: ‘make hay while the sun shines’ (for example ‘Sit in silence while the golden sun sets’)...

Date is TBC for our autumn equinox gathering, watch this space ☺️

Messy Summer Sundays ☀️

Week 1: Christ-centred

Welcome to the first of our Messy Summer Sundays series!

Whether you're at work or home, on holiday, camping or simply enjoying your local park, remember that Jesus is with you wherever you go. We don't need to be in a church building to spend time with God.

📖 This week's verse:
"I am with you always." - Matthew 28:20

🪨 Try this together:
Find a smooth pebble and draw a small heart on it. Carry it with you this week as a reminder that Jesus is always close by.

🌿 Outdoor challenge:
Go on a 'God Spotting Walk'. See if you can find five things that remind you of God's love - perhaps a colourful flower, birds singing, a beautiful view or someone showing kindness.

We'd love to hear what you discover! Share a photo or tell us what reminded you of God this week.

Wherever this week takes you, may you know that God is with you.

It felt amazing to finally have a dry forest church gathering 🙌🏻

We thought about some words from David Cole which included:
'The natural rhythm of the earth brings us twice a year to the equinox, the time when the natural world shows balance. One of the things which often causes us imbalance is overdoing and under-being. We don't spend enough time resting'.

We're meeting again on 19th April at 4pm - you are very welcome to join us! It's very relaxed with no pressure to do any more than you feel comfortable with 😊

Some very belated photos from what turned out to be a very wet Imbolc gathering! We're meeting again this Sunday at 4pm. New people are always very welcome, you can do as much or as little as you like ☺️
