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), […]
It’s celebration time! For our ‘meal with Jesus’ this week, we join Jesus, his mother and the disciples as they attend a great party – a wedding celebration! Unfortunately not everything goes according to plan, and Jesus steps in to save the day in the most miraculous way… Join us in church or online to […]
This week’s ‘Meal with Jesus’ is a huge one – a mega-picnic, to be precise! Fliss will be reflecting on what we call ‘the feeding of the five thousand’ which you can read about in Luke 9: 12-17. Jesus transformed a situation where a huge, hungry crowd ended up having so much food that there […]

The weather may not have got into summer mode yet, but undaunted, we start our summer service series this Sunday. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be thinking about some of the meals that people shared with Jesus. Our readings are largely drawn from Luke’s gospel, and they look at the encounters Jesus […]
This Sunday we reach the end of our mini-series looking at Biblical Heroes, and Martin takes us to the ultimate Biblical hero, the hero of heroes himself: Jesus. As we consider Jesus, Martin draws our attention to his obedience, even to death on a cross, and then his intimacy with God the Father. As we […]
As we continue with our theme of ‘Biblical Heroes’, Jackie and Karen are introducing us to Mary Magdalene this week. Mary Magdalene travelled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and resurrection. She is something of a mystery, but we do know that she had demons cast out […]
In the second of our series about ‘Biblical Heroes’, Joyce and Paulette have chosen to follow ‘David – a hero from stones to thrones’. Talk about an eventful life – David stands head and shoulders over many Biblical characters, and his influence covers much of the Old Testament. Indeed, as Linda reminded us last week, Joseph […]
