Welcome to our Harvest Thanksgiving Service. Fliss leads our worship as we give thanks to God for His creation and pray that we might be better stewards of the world we live in. Everyone is welcome at Wooler URC
To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never held a sword, or at least, not a real one. If I did, I really wouldn’t know how to handle it or how to use it properly – I’d probably be more of a danger to myself than any enemy I might confront! To be of any […]
“These boots are made for walking” was a hit song for Nancy Sinatra in 1966, and over the decades there has been much speculation as to what the song is about. There’s no doubt about the purpose of the shoes (or boots) that Paul describes as an essential part of God’s armour – they are […]
The Helmet of Salvation. Unless we ride a bike or work on a construction site, we probably don’t wear a helmet very often. Yet in his letter to the Christians in Ephesus, Paul includes the ‘helmet of salvation’ as an essential part of the armour of God. That helmet is a sign that shows we […]
Our armoury is building up nicely! In this week’s look at chapter 6 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Joyce and Paulette think about what it means to ‘hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil’. How can we do that when we face tests and trials of every […]
We’re in week two of our look at Paul’s instruction to the church in Ephesus to ‘put on every piece of God’s armour’. This Sunday Bill is leading our service, and invites us to wear the breastplate of righteousness, but what exactly does that mean? As a piece of armour, the breastplate is vital and […]
This Sunday we start our new, six-week series which draws from chapter 6 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This letter is one of Paul’s most magnificent epistles, and is an encouragement to the Christians in Ephesus. Christians there were living at the heart of a pagan society, so firstly Paul reminds them of God’s […]
This Sunday brings us to the last service in our summer series of ‘Meals with Jesus’, and Diane and Paulette issue us all with an invitation to a banquet. It’s not just any banquet, this invitation is to the greatest meal in heaven! The party will be full of shocked guests that God kindly brings […]
We all need things to look forward to. For some, it may be a holiday, a well-earned break from work. Someone else might be looking forward to seeing family or a friend that they haven’t seen for a long, long time. For another, it might be a much-needed operation, or the end of a course […]
Most of us will have played ‘Musical Chairs’ at some point in our life – even if it was many years ago! Can you remember how you felt when you were left without a seat? Awkward? Exposed? Embarrassed? In today’s ‘Meal with Jesus’, Jesus is eating with a notable Pharisee (one of the Jewish leaders), […]
