This week our vicar Olly is speaking on 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 

Following on from last week, Olly is continuing our series on the Holy Spirit. This week he’s speaking on Spiritual gifts and the calling the bible gives us to become a community of people filled with the gifts and presence of God through which we can speak life into the world. Olly gives us 5 points for us to pursue in light of this calling; Stay Open, Stay Expectant, Stay Biblical, Stay Humble and Stay Loving.  

This week, our Curate Reuben Crossley is speaking on Acts 2: 1-12.

The Holy Spirit communicates supernatural life to us and this is revealed through fire that purifies and creates a passionate declaring of the mighty works of God. This filling by the Holy Spirit is for every language and nation and results in a beautiful, world-changing unity in diversity, with Christ at the centre.

This week, our ordinand Robin Smith is speaking on Acts 1:1-11.

On Ascension Day, we remember Jesus as he returns to his Father in Heaven but with the promise that he will return to make his home our home, Heaven on Earth. Through the giving of the Holy Spirit we can experience something of Heaven now as we seek to encounter Jesus today as well as being empowered to build God’s home in and through our prayers and action.

This week, our Curate Mike Knight is speaking on John 15:9-17.

In a year that has felt disconnecting Mike reminds us of the connection we have to Jesus — the friendship that he has offered us which we live out in obedience to his call to love each other.
