25.01.2022 We are all God's adopted children, heirs of his kingdom-inheritance, inhabited and filled with his Spirit. The surest sign of this we have is baptism - the precious sacrament that we all share in today. https://bit.ly/3p2JIYk

25.01.2022 Let's give our prayers, our petitions and and our priorities to the living God.

24.01.2022 Hi everyone. You'll find the link to today's online service below. Along with our main reading (I Thessalonians 5:1-11), the secondary reading is Matthew 25:14-30. Fritz https://youtu.be/HdXXrDRJneM

24.01.2022 We're excited about the opportunity to celebrate Christmas this year in ways that are old and familiar, and at the same time new and fresh. Keep an eye on our Facebook posts, emails and community announcements for more information about our Christmas Eve car park service and our Christmas Day traditional service. The Sunday after Christmas (27 December) we will only have an online service.

23.01.2022 Join us this Sunday (either in person at our chapel service) or online (available 18:00 via Facebook) as we sing, pray, read and listen together as God's people. Use the link below to book your spot: https://bit.ly/3pZCzIh

23.01.2022 Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide Martin Luther

22.01.2022 Just when the disciples thought they knew who the insiders and outsiders in God's kingdom would be, Jesus uproots all their (and maybe all our?) expectations. Thank you for sharing in the Word this morning. Fritz... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t9gNGALbYI

22.01.2022 What if Jesus isn't who we think He is? That's the question his own mother and brothers have to deal with in this Sunday's reading. But it is also our question. https://bit.ly/3c2IuXR... Instead of answers, what we'll find on Sunday is Communion. His body and blood: the whole, disruptive, radical truth of it. Book your place at Sunday's service by clicking the link above.

21.01.2022 Prayer is about our words and our silence, our keeling and our standing, what we "do" and what we "don't do". More than anything, it is about relationship with God who gives us life, forgiveness and mercy above all understanding.

21.01.2022 It's the first Sunday of Advent - the season which marks the beginning of the new church calendar. Book your place at this Sunday's service to celebrate - and explore the anticipation - of Advent with us. https://bit.ly/2UT8sUu

21.01.2022 Sunday's reading asks us to find the difference between living "good" and "forgiven" lives. I'm looking forward to finding the message with all of you! If you'd like to attend the service, be sure to book your place using the link below. https://bit.ly/3k4w1Va

20.01.2022 Good morning, here is the link to today's online sermon and Holy Communion. May you have a blessed Sunday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKcagY4GY0

20.01.2022 This Sunday's chapel service booking form is linked below - remember that these services are "first in, best dressed", so be sure to book your spot early! https://bit.ly/2FI7oPH

19.01.2022 Last week's reading looked at Paul's introductory comments about the second coming, but this week's reading gets at how we're supposed to live with the hope and knowledge that our Lord will return to us. Book your spot by clicking the link below: https://bit.ly/3kgmKsK

19.01.2022 Ascension Day: He who came to be with the sick, the sinful and the socially outcast has been taken up to be with the Father. Greetings in the name of Jesus, the crucified, risen and ascended Christ!

19.01.2022 It's not just about the singing, or the prayers. It's not just about the sermon or the kids' talk. There's something else that happens when we gather on Sundays, something we don't plan or try to control: the Spirit of God moves among us as we pray, and sing, and greet each other in the name of Christ. Book your place at this coming Sunday's service by clicking the link below and join us in our chapel: https://bit.ly/36IEQ1A

19.01.2022 Good morning everyone. The Lord is ascended! I hope you enjoy our online sermon today. https://bit.ly/3ojdwzr

18.01.2022 There's no "right" time for it. It doesn't have to be "perfect". When we pray, we open ourselves up to God who is above right and perfect human expectations. We pray with the few words and little understanding we have to Him who holds all things in His hands.

18.01.2022 An epiphany can be subtle like a candle flame, or jarring, like a lightning bolt. The Epiphany of Christ is a bit of both, and altogether life-changing for the church. Click on the link below to celebrate the first Sunday of Epiphany with us. Note: this service was recorded before the Christmas break, and it goes without saying that a lot has happened in the world since then. Next week's services (both in the chapel and online) will try to address some of it. Until then, take care. Fritz https://bit.ly/3oudl3O

18.01.2022 At the end of our Old Testament prophecy series, we have the chance to hear the gentle whisper of God's voice. But what God says is as important is how He says it! https://bit.ly/2Dy1gbu

17.01.2022 What do federal counterfeit currency agents and Isaiah 44:6-8 have to do with each other? It's all about spending time with the "real thing". I hope you enjoy today's online service. Fritz https://bit.ly/30vUsmm

17.01.2022 It's time to end our series on the Old Testament prophets this Sunday with the remarkable story of Elijah meeting God, not in wind, fire or an earthquake, but in the sound of a gentle whisper. To book your spot at the service, click on the link below (and remember to make one booking per family member attending). Last week we nearly had a "full house" so make sure to book sooner rather than later! https://bit.ly/3kbIoiR

16.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Today's online service will be available at 18:00 this evening (I've had trouble with the recording have decided to do the whole thing over today). Apologies for the inconvenience and I hope you join us for the "evening Communion service". Fritz

16.01.2022 Don't forget to book your spot at this coming Sunday's chapel service. At the moment we can safely continue with our 40 people/service protocol. Any changes to our planning and numbers will be communicated as soon as possible. Follow the link below to make your booking, and remember to make one booking per family member attending. https://bit.ly/3hqsnEd

16.01.2022 From the depths of our being, to the far reaches of the earth, the church's prayers rise up to the Lord as a pleasing sacrifice. This is how, and why, we pray.

16.01.2022 You don't want to miss this Sunday's service. We're dealing with Jesus at his most perplexing (read more about this complicated story of children and dogs, or Jews and gentiles, in Matthew 15:21-28). To book your spot at Sunday's chapel service, click on the link below: https://bit.ly/30NNjyY... If you're joining the online service, make sure to have your candle and your Bible handy at 09:30.

16.01.2022 The "Sunday of the Trinity" is an opportunity for us to reflect on the reality and mystery of the Triune God, and on this particular day, it is also an opportunity to witness a child being baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Follow the link below to book your spot at this special service: https://bit.ly/3yely1h

16.01.2022 We worship the Lord who liberates us, calls us, travels ahead of us and brings us to a land overflowing with milk and honey. Read the story in Exodus 16:2-15, and let us learn, just like Israel, who God truly is.

15.01.2022 Lets revisit an old childrens Bible favorite God giving the Israelites quail and manna from heaven! But there is more to this story than meat and bread. Its a story about freedom and relationship, and the perfect way to start our new block of readings from the Old Testament. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m43TcWdVV-s

14.01.2022 There's a lot to explore in our reading from I Kings this morning! I hope you enjoy these insights into wealth, long life and wisdom. Fritz https://bit.ly/2D9JJ8N

13.01.2022 Jesus urges us to live forgiven lives, not just good ones. Let's share in God's word this morning so that we may understand - and practice - that forgiveness. https://bit.ly/32oY0sv

13.01.2022 "Pray, and let God worry" - Martin Luther

13.01.2022 "God wants us to pray, and He wants to hear our prayers - not because we are worthy, but because He is merciful" - Martin Luther

13.01.2022 For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall? - Augustine of Hippo

13.01.2022 It's the bread and the wine. It's the Word and the Spirit promising God's abundant life. It's the call to worship together and share in the Lord's Communion this Sunday. Click the link below to book your spot at Sunday's service. All are welcome, but make your booking soon as we can only accommodate 40 people per service! https://bit.ly/30UZNUo

13.01.2022 When we sin, we call each other out. But Jesus calls us in. Where we seek confrontation, Jesus orders conversation. Where we can't wait to "cancel" each other, Jesus gives us his body and his blood. Make sure you book your spot at this Sunday's communion service (use the link below to make your booking).... And if you're joining us from home, make sure you have your candle, bread and wine/juice ready on Sunday morning. https://bit.ly/2ERCSBO

12.01.2022 Having faith without prayer is like having life without breath. It's not a nice-to-have habit. It is part and parcel of Who we believe in and and how we believe.

12.01.2022 Here is a selection of music to listen to in preparation for Sunday's service. Especially the Taize hymn "Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy)", as those are the words the Canaanite woman cries out to Jesus in our reading. Book your spot at our chapel service here: https://bit.ly/30NNjyY "In Christ alone" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kvFtXphmMU... "Kyrie eleison" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy63_J2YMX4

12.01.2022 What makes us "Christians"? In Matthew 18:21-35, forgiveness is the defining characteristic of the Christian life. Use the link below to book your place at Sunday's service to learn more about how, and why, we need to be serious about forgiveness. https://bit.ly/2R4pcGx

11.01.2022 If there's one thing Israel learned in the Exodus story, it is that God is a God who listens, converses and delights in dialogue with his people. When we pray, we engage with that same God!

10.01.2022 If you'd like to join this Sunday's chapel service, be sure to click the link below and book your spot, As always, remember to add every member of your family/group individually so we have a full tally of the numbers. https://bit.ly/35dZnva

09.01.2022 I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer Martin Luther

09.01.2022 (Link has been fixed) "But you, who do you say I am?" How did the disciples answer Jesus' question? How would we answer it (Matt 16:13-20)?... Book your spot at Sunday's chapel service (link below) to share in the story! https://bit.ly/3iWvhAC

09.01.2022 Jesus is risen! Victorious over the grave! And now... departed? Where has He gone? What do we do now? When is He coming back? These are as much our questions as they were the first disciples' as they witnessed Jesus' ascension. We'll look to change our perspective on a few of them together this Sunday. But as we've often found this year, we should be careful what we ask for! Click on the link below to book your place:... https://bit.ly/2SBC8rn See more

09.01.2022 This week's readings all point to the utter abundance of God's goodness and love (Isaiah 55: 1-5, Matthew 14:13-21 and this piece from Psalm 145). Our prayers are an answer to God's invitation to live in his abundance and to share it with the world!

08.01.2022 Sheep and goats, justice and judgement. It all comes together in our readings from Matthew 25 and Ezekiel 34. Enjoy the service. https://bit.ly/3718FKW

05.01.2022 Love that is fierce, friendship that is costly and joy that is not of this world: as we wrap up our Easter season this year, we hear again Jesus transforming everyday words to show us how they function in the kingdom.

03.01.2022 This Sunday, we celebrate the communion of our Lord.

Use the link below to book your place at this special service. https://bit.ly/2ERCSBO

03.01.2022 Jesus gives Peter the key to the kingdom, but that key has the shape of a cross. Jesus calls Peter his rock, just before Peter becomes his stumbling block. Rev David Baker leads today's service about "the way of Jesus'. https://bit.ly/3baqrxm

03.01.2022 Let us pray to the God of salvation, liberation and righteousness. Let us pray, so that we may become more and more like our Lord.
