📖 This week’s message…
“The wise ones took oil in jars along with their lamps.” — Matthew 25:4 As we head into our All Age service next Sunday exploring the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Bridesmaids, we’ve been sitting with this simple image: being prepared. Not in an anxious, rushing way — but in the quiet, steady way…

📖 Message of the Week
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” — Isaiah 43:19 A new month. A fresh page. Whatever last month held — the things that went well, the things that didn’t, the worries you carried and the joys you savoured — July is a new beginning. That’s…

Message of the Week:
“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise.” — Proverbs 6:6 This week our children and Junior Church have been learning about the ant — and what a teacher she turns out to be. Solomon points us to one of the smallest creatures in creation and says: watch her, and grow…

💛 Thankful Thursday 💛
Pause for a moment. Look up from your screen. Notice three things right now that are good — the light coming through a window, a cup beside you, a sound, a memory, a face you love. Whisper a thank you. 🙏 “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17 Gratitude is one…

Message of the Week — “Only Believe”
Running through Matthew 9 is one quiet, powerful thread: faith that simply trusts God to do what only He can do. When Jesus called Matthew, the tax collector didn’t bargain or hesitate — he got up and followed. And when the religious leaders objected to the company Jesus kept, Jesus reminded them that He came…

🌿 Message of the Week
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…” — John 3:16 Of all the verses in the Bible, this is perhaps the most quoted — and the most easily passed over. Pause for a moment. Read it again. Slowly. God so loved the world… Not “the world if it…

On Sunday we celebrated Pentecost — the day the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and the Church was born.
With Pentecost, the Easter season comes to a close. We look back with joy on the journey from the empty tomb to that moment of fire and wind, of bold voices speaking in many tongues. What began with a frightened few gathered in an upper room became a Church sent out to carry the Good…

Message of the Week: Lifted Up, Sent Out
“While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.” — Luke 24:51 The Ascension is easy to overlook, tucked between the wonder of Easter and the fire of Pentecost. But this moment matters. As Jesus rises out of sight, his final posture toward his disciples is one of blessing —…

✨ Message of the Week ✨The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant📖 Matthew 18:21–35
Peter asked Jesus, “How many times should I forgive someone?” Perhaps expecting praise for suggesting seven times, he was astonished when Jesus replied, “Not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Jesus then told the story of a servant who had been forgiven an enormous debt by his master — a debt he could never repay. Yet,…

🌿 Living Stones, A Prepared Place
“In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places… I go to prepare a place for you.” — John 14:2 This week’s readings hold a beautiful tension. In John’s Gospel, Jesus comforts his troubled disciples with one of the most tender promises in all of Scripture: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He is…
