03.01.2022 The Olive Tree: The mythology of its origin is that it was brought back from Jerusalem by one of Wesley’s founders around 1839.

02.01.2022 Some more photos of the new outdoor spaces around the church, some taken from the second floor of Wesley place. It’s looking so beautiful and great to see not just John Wesley back in place but also the Station of the Cross.

01.01.2022 John Wesley has returned!

01.01.2022 Contesting with God On Sunday (Aug 2) our Minister, Alistair Macrae, preached on Jacob's night time struggle (Genesis 32) with an assailant he recognised as God. The sermon challenges us to consider taking Jacob, the Psalmist and Jesus himself, as examples of an engaged relationship with the Living God that cares enough to wrestle, contest and seek blessing in all circumstances. https://youtu.be/YLyHYh8JjJA
