Thinking of a gift idea for Christmas?

• Next year if you are not already using a daily devotional, we would encourage you to use Choose Life 365 readings for Radical Disciples by Simon Guillebaud.  This will enable you to be able to talk about your reading and thoughts with one another at Church or life groups.
• On Sundays we use the NIV UK 2011 edition of the Bible.  We would really encourage you to bring your own copy to church so that together we get used to hearing Gods voice as well as using reading and studying scripture and all it has to say to us.  Reading a physical copy can help us to really see the text in its context.

 

Friday Morning Café over Christmas Please note that the last Friday morning café will be on 16th December, re-opening on Friday 6th January.  Many thanks to the volunteers and patrons who have made this such a great success. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
