Welcome to our online service. This service includes some of the elements from our in person service for those who are not able to make it at 11am. We'd encourage you to begin to come back to our in person services if you can. The opportunity to meet together is good for us and helps us on our Christian journey together.
Today is Palm Sunday and as we look ahead to Holy Week we reflect on Luke 19:28-44 as Jesus entered into Jerusalem.
Over the coming weeks we will be changing how we offer online content. We will be recording the sermon live and putting it on YouTube afterwards. If you want to watch it again or have missed it, then remember to have a look on our YouTube channel for the latest sermons. To not miss any new content you will need to subscribe to the channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKe6CbYF_LV-UfnDIoVNt7g
Although rules have now relaxed, we would ask you if you are coming in person, that you please take care of one another by ensuring you keep others health to the forefront of your minds. We ask you not to attend in person if you are displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 or have tested positive.
Youth Cafe is at 4pm this afternoon and it will be a games night.
