This Sunday morning we meet for morning worship at 11am. As usual our service includes a supervised creche and a full children's provision. Praise will be led by our Praise Group. Niall will be speaking on the 'Parable of the Bags of Gold'. This parable (often known as 'The Parable of the Talents') is found in Matthew 25: 14-30. Do be encouraged to read the passage in advance and to pray that God will speak to us as once again we have opportunity to sit under His word.

This Sunday - 21st June

18 June 2015

This Sunday morning (11am) we come to the third in a series of four talks on the theme 'The King and the Kingdom'. This week we are looking at Jesus' parable of the Ten Bridesmaids (found in Matthew 25 vs 1-13). One of the sources I have found helpful in preparing for this has been a book called 'Last Things First'. This book (by Graham Beynon) helps us to see how the return of the Lord Jesus is foundational to what the Bible teaches. The book can be purchased from our on-line Bookstore.
