This Sunday we meet for morning worship at 11am. This week we will be looking at 2 Samuel chapters 11and 12. Over the past number of weeks we have traced the character development of David - man after God's heart - from humble shepherd boy to King of Israel. But now comes a crash, a fall. David commits adultery with Bathsheba, an act likened by the prophet Nathan to a rich man stealing a poor man's lamb. Read the chapters for yourself as we prepare for Sunday. The service includes supervised creche / children's provision / and Bible Class.
