We continue our exploration of finding Jesus in the Old Testament this week, as Linda considers Jesus as a victim – a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. How appropriate that this is also Remembrance Sunday, when we turn our minds to honouring all those who have been victims of war, lost whilst fighting […]
In our service last week, we considered how deeply Jesus knew and understood the Scriptures, and how they revealed His true identity. This week we move on a stage, and think about how Israel failed to reveal the glory of God, and see afresh how Jesus embodied and fulfilled that revelation when he came and […]
As we continue to look at Jesus through the lens of the Old Testament, we begin to realise (and perhaps this is stating the obvious), just how deeply Jesus knew and understood the Scriptures. It seems that Jesus needed his bible (the Old Testament) to discover His true identity and purpose, and His relationship with […]
The seasons are undoubtedly changing, and this Sunday we start a new series as we begin a gentle and thoughtful preparation for the start of Advent at the end of next month. The celebration of Christmas and the birth of Jesus is a pivotal point in the Christian year, but so often we arrive at […]
With the arrival of October, autumn is well and truly upon us! The fields are looking bare, and for the most part, the agricultural harvest is done. It’s a perfect time of year to reflect on the bounty that God’s wonderful world provides – not just for our physical needs, but for so much more […]
This is the last week of our series thinking about ‘What is Church?’, and Bill is rounding of the theme by looking at discipleship within the church. Above everything else, the church is a community of believers who follow Jesus. So what does it mean to be a ‘disciple’ in today’s world, and how do […]
We’re now into week four of our theme thinking about ‘What is Church?’ and this week we are delighted to welcome Rev Carla Grosch-Miller to share in our service. Carla is our ‘Pastoral Friend’ who is assisting us in developing our work of caring for each other, and will be helping us think about the […]
We’re continuing with our ‘What is Church?’ theme this week, as we consider what it means to be a church family. And just as different families have different habits and traditions, we’re going to be joining together in a slightly different way as we introduce Café Church to Wooler URC. So this Sunday we will […]
We all have questions… Why do we meet on Sundays? Why is the Bible important? What is a ‘disciple’? Why do we call the church a family, or a ‘body’? Why are we servants and who are we serving? In fact – WHAT IS CHURCH? Have you ever wondered just what church is all about? […]
This week we reach the final session of our exploration of some Old Testament journeys – and they don’t come more exciting than this one! Jackie is taking us on a journey with Jonah, as he tried to ignore God, but learned that whilst you can run, you can’t hide! Do join us on Sunday […]
