From this Sunday and right through the holiday season our sermons will be looking at the Bible stories some of us will have first heard as children, and the lessons we took from them. What impact did they have on us then and now, and does the story as we remember it bear much resemblance to the biblical text? For example, was Goliath REALLY a giant, or even particularly tall? If not, does that change the meaning and the lesson we can take from the text.

New range of Christian cards
If you have visited us before you will surely have seen the wide selection of greetings cards and prints available by Ben and Hannah Dunnett. They have a huge variety of designs incorporating scripture and hymns/worship songs that are appropriate for almost any occasion.
We are now also stocking cards from a local distributor called Forget-Me-Not, run by two Christian women. If you’re looking for more simple designs or something specific for a child’s birthday, a wedding anniversary, a baptism or a bereavement then you’ll find it! Each card has a Christian message inside.
You can see the full range on their website HERE.

It's the APCM! Read our Annual Report...
It’s that time of year again when we gather to look back over the past 12 months, think about our vision for our church and city, and celebrate the good things!
In case you don’t know, APCM stands for Annual Parochial Church Meeting - the church equivalent of an AGM. As well as looking at our financial situation we have Church Wardens to elect and new people standing for places on the PCC - much to be grateful for!
All are welcome - though only people on the Electoral Roll may vote - this Thursday, 26th May at 7.00pm in the church.
We look forward to seeing you and in the meantime you can read and download the annual report and accounts HERE.
New Sermon Series
A new sermon series for Spring started this week - 8th May - and will run until just after Pentecost.
Called ‘Difference’, it is based on the Difference course created the Reconciliation Leaders Network, established by Archbishop Justin Welby as part of his Reconciliation Ministry.
The overall thread is acknowledging that we live in a divided and fractured world and it can be hard to know where to start with some issues. Looking at the way God may work in our relationships and disagreements to bring about transformation will equip us to bring about this transformation in our everyday encounters.
You can read more about the RLN and the Difference course HERE.
