Autumn term sermons through the Psalms
Choir Practice with the King
We’re not allowed to sing in church right now. This is very strange because Jesus’ people are people who sing! As the hymn puts it: “Ever since my sin was washed away, I just keep singing, singing, singing all the time!”
So we’re taking this opportunity to do some choir practice with Jesus - being shaped by His songs, the Psalms, found in the middle of the Bible.
Do join us at church or online!

Summer Services Online - 'Noah: Safely Through the Storm'
The storm of coronavirus was suddenly upon us - at best plans had to change and at worst we faced suffering and bereavement. Rainbows popped up in windows all over the country as the nation clung to a vague notion of ‘hope’.
Is there hope? And what’s the rainbow got to do with it?
Join us online on Sunday morning throughout the summer as we listen to God’s word in Genesis 6-9; the story of Noah. The story of God’s Life Boat in the middle of God’s cleansing storm.
