Gary Bastin guided us through our all age gathering. We saw that the Bible describes the church as a family and discovered what God’s mission for the church is. We concluded with a sneak peak of the glorious multicultural church, described at the end of the Bible.

Nate Aspray did a brilliant job looking at five important foundations of the first church in Jerusalem (Acts 2:42-47). As we look at our church today, he asked, what do we do well, and where can we improve?

Guest speaker Rebecca Beese took us a creative journey through songs, psalms, prayers and pictures discovering new ways to worship God together…

Terry Huggett started our new series 'Mustard Seeds - Redefining Church' looking at what Jesus said about a mustard seed and how big things can grow for small beginnings.

In a packed room there was a buzz of anticipation at our first gathering of 2026! A few people shared what they felt God was saying, then Gary Bastin spoke about ‘The Unchanging Changer’, and we closed with St. Francis of Assisi’s ‘Prayer for Peace’.

It was a great double act from Diane and Andy Taylor! Quizmaster Diane kicked off with some seasonal limericks then Andy spoke about ‘The Parable of the Beachball’.

‘Carols for Everyone’ was a packed festive gathering with Christmas carols, children dressed as Nativity characters and Bible readings. Olu Akinwale spoke about the wonder and relevance of Jesus, the ‘Light of the World’.

At the Live Nativity Gary Bastin spoke about how light makes a big difference, not only at Christmastime…

Our Advent gathering was a beautiful, creative and reflective time, with poems, prose and songs, culminating in communion. Many thanks to all those who contributed.

Gary Bastin concluded our series, ‘Romans 8 – A People of Hope’, focusing on the last few verses. He reminded us of the reason behind the series, then wrapped things up before leading the whole church through a prayer tunnel!
