Back to Church Sunday

Sunday 26 September 2010 - Back to Church Sunday We were absolutely delighted to welcome several visitors to our Church this morning and it was lovely to share coffee and fellowship with them after the service. Thanks to Lorna for a great service, for introducing us to Badger, for taking us on a detective hunt to establish more of the three women friends of Jesus, and for demonstrating that our discipleship depends upon Christian fellowship. We loved the imagery of a burning ember needing others around it to keep the fire burning. There was no lack of fellowship after the service - we were still there 1 hour later! If you would like to share with us, please join us. We meet at 10.30 am each Sunday and we guarantee you a warm welcome.

The children enjoyed a treasure hunt in t
