Today we will be ordaining and inducting two people into the office of elder. To ordain means to invest someone with ministerial authority through the laying on of hands, in this case as one of the spiritual leaders of our church. To induct means to identify the position that they will be holding which is […]
Coming up in our church’s calendar we are being given the opportunity to share together as family at a talent show. The Fellowship Team has got this organised for us all, alongside so many of their amazing ideas designed to help us all build deeper fellowship. They’re doing a really great job on our behalf […]
I’ve just recently finished watching a DVD called ‘An Appalachian Dawn’. Appalachia is a very large area in the East of the United States stretching from New York state down to Alabama.

This weekend, it is Palm Sunday. Yes, it’s about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but it is actually so much more even if that were possible. It is actually about our priority on God and where He wants us to be. That’s what Jesus in His humanness struggled with in the Garden of Gethsemane when […]
