For unto us is born this day in the city of David
a saviour who is Christ the Lord.

WARM GREETINGS
We all like receiving gifts at Christmas-time; 2000 years ago, God sent a gift to us – Jesus Christ.
When we accept God’s gift, Jesus enters our life bringing grace, love and peace and the power to make a difference. He makes the ordinary extraordinary. The good news is – Jesus isn’t just for Christmas; He’s for the whole year round! We’ll be exploring this theme in our services during December. We hope you enjoy being with us. If you want to explore more about Jesus just come and ask us, we’ll be delighted to help you find some answers.
‘Evidence that demands a verdict’
This is the title of Josh McDowell’s book. In the foreword he asks “Is Christianity credible? Is there an intellectual basis for faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God?” And he goes on to explain “Scholars throughout the centuries, as well as millions of students and older adults, would answer such questions with a resounding ‘Yes!’,” and says that this is what his book is all about.
November (2011) Newsletter
This month our Sunday services will focus on ‘Looking UP’ to help us understand WHERE God is already at work and how we can join in.
At the beginning of November we held our Annual Church Meeting and heard reports from a wide variety of groups in our small fellowship. A big thank you to everyone for the ways in which you serve in the church and the wider community. Often there will be many acts which we do not see and are not aware of, but this is an opportunity to give thanks to God for everyone and the place we have in each others hearts.
October Newsletter
This month our Sunday services will focus on ‘Looking In’ to help us understand our own stories and the people we are in Christ.
We’ll be exploring a number of questions – What is my faith story? How can I share it with others? What is my responsibility in God’s mission? What if I don’t think I can do it? What does it mean to be a disciple? How can I encourage others to be involved?
In coming months we will ‘look up’ and ‘look forward’ to understand further how we can share in God’s mission. These words lie behind our exploration of Mission – “The word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighbourhood” John 1:14 (The Message). The word becomes flesh and blood through us, so that through us, Jesus moves into our neighbourhoods.
