Advent is all about preparation – getting ready for something good that’s coming close. Diane and Paulette are guiding us through our service this Sunday, as we think about John the Baptist and how he called people to prepare, get ready, look forward to the coming one. John was wild, unconventional, a voice that stood […]
Everywhere I go at the moment, I seem to hear people saying “I can’t believe it’s Advent already! Where did November go?!” And yet here it is, Advent Sunday which marks the beginning of a time of preparation leading up to Christmas Day. Of course there are all the ‘essential’ preparations that we can’t fail […]

Writing about the Lord’s Prayer recently, the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said this: “In less than 70 words, Jesus gives us a prayer to learn by heart and a prayer that gets inside our hearts… It’s a challenging prayer and when we say this prayer together we become […]
In our worship this Sunday, we journey to Capernaum to spend a day with Jesus. As we watch how he ministers to people and interacts with them, we ask ourselves, what do His actions teach us as Christians?
