Advent Discussions
Our advent discussions will be on the theme of angels – a chance to explore and discover together what they are and what we believe about them.
All are welcome to join us.
Midweek Worship
Everyone is welcome to this short devotional time of worship and reflection.
Anyone who does not have internet access can still share in the service by phoning one of the two numbers. I am led to believe calls are only charged at local rate.
Please pass this on to anyone who you think may benefit.
Every blessing

“Umoja”
Understanding how to be church both in lockdown and in whatever it will mean to be post-lockdown are issues some of us wrestle with daily. With that in mind I would like to flag up ‘Umoja’ – a series of sessions that I will be running from the end of September to help us think about what it means for us to be disciples of Jesus shaped for mission in the places where we are.
Each session will explore a theme centred on a Bible passage and draw on learning and experience from the world church. You may only want to do one session or you may feel like all 5 are relevant – that’s fine.
The sessions are spaced fortnightly to avoid overwhelming people alongside everything else but I want to stress that these are for everyone – church members, role-holders, elders and secretaries alike. For that reason it is only going to be possible to run this on zoom in the present climate. It was my hope to deliver this in person to each partnership but that won’t be possible at the moment. However I do hope that those who come are able to consider taking back what they learn to run the course or individual session themselves in their local churches.
Each session will be run in an afternoon and an evening slot to make this accessible for as many as possible. If you would like to sign up for one or more of the sessions please contact me via email or phone. I have attached a flyer.
