This Sunday is the last in our short series looking at some of the parables of Jesus, and Martin rounds off the series by looking at the parable of the Vine and the Branches which we read in chapter 15 of John’s gospel. Asking the question ‘bearing or burning’, Martin is unpacking a colourful parable […]
We return to our short series of looking at parables that Jesus told and listening for the message in them for us today. This Sunday Diane and Paulette are looking at the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in chapter 18 of Luke’s gospel. The NIV translation of this passage finishes with these […]
We’re taking a break from our series on the parables of Jesus this week, as Fliss is introducing us to ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ – the global wave of prayer that challenges us to pray for our communities, our friends and our families, that they might come to know Jesus. By the time we have our […]
This Sunday we start our new sermon series: ‘Parables of the Kingdom’. Jesus came to return all people to the way God wanted us to live; He came to establish the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus described the characteristics of this Kingdom by using parables – stories using pictures of everyday things that His hearers would […]

This Sunday we reach the third petition of the Lord’s Prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This is perhaps the most challenging line of the prayer, and one that we need to think carefully about. Patrick is leading our worship, which fittingly includes the celebration of the Lord’s […]
This week we have a very special service, as mother and daughter combo, Ann and Fliss are leading our worship. As well as celebrating Mothering Sunday, Fliss will be continuing our exploration of the Lord’s Prayer by reflecting on the line ‘Give us this day our daily bread’. So do join us – and for […]
We arrive at our third week of living the Lord’s Prayer in Lent, and this Sunday we hear about the first petition or request that appears in the prayer. What do we mean when we pray ‘Thy Kingdom come…’? Do we understand what we’re asking God for, or do we need to think that through […]
We continue our Lenten journey towards Easter as we spend time dwelling with the Lord’s Prayer. Each week we are taking a different phrase and considering how we follow Jesus’s instruction to “pray like this”.
