Some weeks Sunday comes round SO fast 😵‍💫But here we are again, have we all survived the first week of term? Our toddlers are back on Monday but first, it's Sunday o'clock. All welcome. Rooted in our readings from Romans 13 and Matthew 18, this Sunday explores how Christ opens a "new and living way" that invites us into deeper reconciliation with one another and a warmer welcome for all who have stepped away. Looking ahead to Harvest, we reflect on the new feast of Creation in Christ, placing Jesus at the centre of everything and expanding our call to love to include not only our local but our global neighbours and the fragile earth we share.

How about Church this morning? You are welcome. 10.30am 🙏☕️
Today's reflection: Peter wants to protect Jesus from suffering — a reaction we recognise. But Jesus begins to show his disciples that the journey to Jerusalem leads to the cross, and that God’s plan is larger than their expectations. Today’s Gospel reminds us that discipleship is a path, not a shortcut, and that God prepares us for what lies ahead. The Church is not built on perfect followers, but on those whom Jesus keeps calling back into place, trusting his sovereignty rather than our own instincts.

Sarah and Lewis today made their promises to one another and entered the covenant of marriage - complete with an ice cream van in the churchyard! Many congratulations for a long and happy future together 🍦🍦🥂

Joyful, joyful indeed! Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Hunter on their baby boy. We're all super excited to meet him (but perhaps glad he didn't make his appearance at the summer fete last weekend 😅) 👶 💙

At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks his disciples the question that still shapes our faith: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter’s answer — “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” — comes not from cleverness or culture, but from revelation. Today’s Gospel reminds us that faith cannot be borrowed; it must be discovered. When we quiet the noise of the world and listen for God’s voice, Christ reveals who he is — and who we are called to be.
If you're listening, do join us for worship, Sundays 10.30am. You are welcome.
