Reading: John 20.11-18 It wasn’t unexpected. She would surely not recognise me. She would almost certainly think I was someone else. And anyway, the situation would not lend itself to understanding. Having come to the tomb to grieve, what a confusion it must have been to find the body she was looking for was not […]
Reading: Luke 23.50-56 You never expect to bury your friends. Who’d have thought that the day would end up like this? To find yourself making arrangements to bury a friend who only last night was celebrating the festival with his followers. What a shocking day. The trial had been a shambles. He shouldn’t have been […]
Reading: Luke 22.54-62 What would you do? I mean, who would behave any differently? Put in that position everyone would have been the same, right? He’d told me that I’d do it too. But I didn’t believe him. I said I’d be there for him. I said I’d go to prison and even death. But […]

Our next re-lite session is on the theme of “People and the Environment” and takes place on Sunday 3rd April 2016 from 7:30pm. As humans, we are dependent upon the environment to nourish, provide and support our lives. Sometimes we take it for granted and fail to notice when we are misusing and abusing the […]
We were pleased to be able to present a total of £900 to our 2015 nominated charities after morning worship on Sunday 14th February 2016. Events and collections have been held throughout the year, resulting in the three charities – Great North Air Ambulance, Macmillan Nurses and the Children’s Heart Unit Fund – each receiving a […]
Having confessed, been assured of our forgiveness, and brought before God the concerns we hold for others, we prepare to go out into Lent on a voyage seeking the path to Jerusalem. In a moment, there will be one final prayer and then some music to conclude our service. You may wish to spend some […]
While we enter Lent in confessing our own faults, and those of the church, it is right too that we should bring to mind those who need our prayers at this time. Prayer: The World at root is good O God, as we look at your world we can come close to despair. When we […]
