The current week's Sunday Service Video will always appear on our home page here
Passion Sunday Service (29/03/2020) - This video was recorded in our Church on Sunday 22nd March 2020 and referred to a Confirmation as if it had taken place. Due to the increased Covid-19 restrictions that Confirmation could not take place. As the use of a Church Building as a venue for recording a Video Service ceased to be allowed from Tuesday 24th March 2020 all future Service Videos will be recorded by Bishop Rob and Janine at their home. (The video is scheduled to become accessible from 6AM on Sunday 29th March 2020)
A Prayer for today
Dear God
We're grateful that You never leave or forsake us. And we're grateful for the technology that helps us stay in touch with each other. Give us the strength to endure this difficult season and deepen our connection with You and Your people. Today, help us remember that this time of social distancing and isolation will not last forever. Empower us with an extra dose of Your love, peace, hope and joy. Remind us of Your promises, and please heal our land.
In Jesus' name. Amen (copyright yourversion.com)
News flash!! Revd Pat has recently set up a Facebook page for us
A message from Lawrence, our Website Editor
Modern technology has enabled us to set up two additional ways of communicating with the local community, Audio Podcasts and Video Services. Bishop Rob, with help from his wife, Janine, plans to release a "Pause for thought" podcast and a video Sunday service each week. He and Janine also have plans afoot for extra items during Holy Week and Easter.
