Our sermons this term have been on the lovely theme of the Fruit of the Spirit.

And for the first timeContinue reading “Easter Services 2017”

New years resolutions come and go. But there are some resolutions that endure. These are God’s resolutions for you. No matter who you are. These three resolutions, simple yet profound are what God requires. He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice,Continue reading “Spring 2017”

Our Church Weekend Away from 4th-6th March will be a lovely mix of teaching, worship, country walks, good food and relaxation. We will be staying at Latimer place in Hertfordshire, and we have the Canon Pastor of St Pauls Cathedral, Tricia Hillas speaking on the theme of ‘All Saints, All Sinners’.  

The Bishop of London writes: Whatever our church tradition, we know that authentic prayer – listening deeply and responding obediently – takes time. Our busy city life will eat up all available hours and it is a good discipline to remind each other of the importance of prayer by having deliberate seasons of waiting uponContinue reading “Prayers on the Move”
