Hello Easter

                     

 

Good Friday sees the start of Easter, which is followed by the Easter Season. Easter reminds us of how great God’s love for us is. So often we look at the world around us and wonder where God is, the cross tells us that he is with us.

 

This month’s picture was taken at one of our School Easter Trails where, as one of the activities, children were invited to make a heart from playdough to remember how great God’s love for us is.

 

All are welcome to our Easter services and we hope you will find in them a reminder of the love of God.

Worship during the Week

Jesus called his followers to be disciples, people who are with Jesus through daily prayer and worship, people who become like him through daily reading and reflecting on scripture and people who do as he did by loving our neighbour as ourselves. We cannot do this alone. Find out more about all the ways we support and encourage each other and hear our minister's weekly message.

Small Groups 

A key part of our faith journey is meeting together in small, mid week groups. These groups give us a chance to grow in faith and friendship. In small groups we can encourage and support each other.

knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.
