Advent & The Jesse Trees | 28th November 2022
On Sunday we started our journey through Advent and this season we are going to focus on the Jesse Trees. These are the male and female ancestry lines of Jesus. Our time included creativity, worship, prayer, stories and spending time together. In our gathering we gave some background, worked together creatively and explored where we give Hope Peace, Joy and Love this season. It was lovely to see our children taking part and giving their insights.
Comparing | 31st October 2021
This week in our community gathering we share thoughts and discuss Matthew 20 and the story Jesus told about the workers in the vineyard.

Linsey and Enid again led a powerful time of musical worship and Rosemary facilitated prayers using poetry and words.
