Series: Standalone

We had the Canterbury Christian Schools Work Trust with us this morning to share news and stories about the wonderful things that God is doing in and through the trust in our local schools.

This Sunday we spent our morning together exploring what it is to be the family of God.

* The story Sam reads is from The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones.

* We’re also very grateful for other resources used throughout the morning by Sam and Sarah Hargreaves from Engage Worship.

On Sunday we took some time to pause and reflect on what we had been exploring together as a Church over the summer months.

On our first Sunday meeting of the year, Mike spoke on the magi and their journey to come and meet King Jesus.

On the first day of Advent we think about hope and how that hope is found and rooted in the promises of prophecy that we see throughout the Bible. God knew and God knows.

This Sunday we asked the question, ‘What is our only hope in life and death?’ and together explored the answer, ‘That we are not our own but belong to God.’

*The question and answer came from ‘The New City Catechism’ (published by Crossway)

This Sunday, Sam asked us to think about why we meet and gather together as the Church before drawing us to Hebrews 10:19-25, which provides us with a great starting point to answer this question.

As we came back together to meet in the same venue for the first time in around a year and a half, we spent time exploring what it looks like for us to journey alongside one another.

In this recording you will hear:

1. Steph, retelling how Jesus healed a man who’s friends had brought him to Jesus.

2. Mike sharing an update from our most recent Gift Day

3. Sam speaking on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15

On Easter Sunday, we spent some time in Luke 24 as Mike Taylor spoke on the resurrection of Jesus.
