25.01.2022 Treasury project memory verse for this week Philippians 4:4

25.01.2022 The internet is letting us down. We are about to restart - bear with us!

23.01.2022 Friday Funny .... Little Philip was walking home in the rain with his mother following Sunday worship. It finally stopped raining as they rounded the corner, where to their surprise and delight appeared a vivid double rainbow in the sky. Doesn’t it look like an artist painted this rainbow? his mother exclaimed. I bet God painted this just for you!... Yes, replied Philip, God did it, and he did it left handed. Confused, his mother asked him, What makes you say God did this with his left hand? Well, said Philip, we learned in Sunday School that Jesus sits on God’s right hand. Have a great weekend!

23.01.2022 This weeks Treasury memory verse is from Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Freddo Frogs are still going out each week to those who can either show us how you are remembering the verses or by remembering some from previous weeks!

(2Chronicles 7:14) Lord may it be so.

22.01.2022 As we continue in our series through the book of Daniel there is a question we should all have started asking ourselves..: If I were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict me Or indeed would there be enough evidence to even warrant arrest? Join us again this Sunday as we delve into Daniel chapter 6

20.01.2022 Friday funny ... (From church humour online) Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, me dog is dead. Could ya be saying a mass for the poor creature?" Father Patrick replied, "Im afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and theres no tellin what they believe. Maybe theyll do something for... the creature." Muldoon said, "Ill go right away Father. Do ya think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?" Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why did ya not tell me the dog was Catholic? Have a great weekend!
