AN INVITATION TO OUR BIBLE STUDIES

The first Tuesday of every month, we have a cake and coffee morning which gives us an opportunity to meet up for a chat and enjoy fellowship with each other. There's plenty of delicious cakes, tea and coffee to enjoy whilst we natter about this and that.

EVERY OTHER TUESDAY, we meet at 10.30 a.m. to study the Bible.  We start off with tea, coffee and biscuits and a quick chat before we begin.  These sessions are not only enjoyable but extremely valuable.  It's amazing how much you can learn by discussing amongst ourselves the various aspects of how life may have been like before and after the birth of Jesus.

More importantly, it's what we learn about what God wanted for his people and particularly the ministry of Jesus and his disciples. We are currently studying the Book of JOHN

Please do come and join us and learn more about our wonderful Saviour and His ancestors.

John said " If we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we share a common life and are being cleansed from every sin by the blood of Jesus". 
                                                                 (1John 1:7)


WHO WAS ST JOHN

John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, a family of fishermen.
"One who Jesus loved" and His closest friend. John covers a different time span in Jesus' life and was with him throughout His Ministry in Judea.
John wrote five books all in the New Testament. The Gospel of St John, the three epistles of John, and the book of Revelation.
In Galations, Paul refers to John as one of the pillars of the church in Jerusalem. John was known as 'John the Apostle", Saint John the Evangelist" or 'St John the Divine" A forthright and passionate man.
He sat next to Jesus at the Last Supper, and at the crucifixion, Jesus entrusted John to care for Mary after His death.
When Mary found that the tomb was empty, she went to Simon Peter and John and told them of the news. They ran to the tomb and saw for themselves that Jesus' body was no longer there. It is written in John 20 that John is referred to as "the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved".
During his later years, due to the persecution of Christians,  John was banished by the Roman Emperor Domitian to the Greek Island of Patmos.
It is thought that John was the last surviving apostle and died at age 91 of natural causes.

                                                 












                                                        
PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

We praise you, God, for your Church across the globe.  In particular, we lift to You our church partners who are faithfully serving You.  We pray for peace and hope to abound. Many are affected by wars, natural disasters, floods, droughts and forest fires.  Many are struggling with conflict, poverty and the global food crisis. Father, please protect those who are vunerable to illness around the world, especially children and babies living in poverty and particularly those children who have been made orphans in areas of conflict. Father we pray for your protection and healing. We pray for our partner churches who work so hard to look after their communities. Dear Father, we pray for countries experiencing the turmoil of conflict and political instability,  We ask for peace to be restored. Please grant wisdom and integrity to world Leaders so that they will work for the good of the people they govern and
serve. 
We know that you listen to our prayers when our hearts and minds can feel overwhelmed by the immense challenges affecting people, all around the world as well as our loved ones. Scripture promises that when we turn to you, you will respond with compassion.  Verse 1 in Psalm 46 says "God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble.
In the Name of Jesus,
AMEN

​HOPE FOR SPRING

​

Father God thank you for Spring and the hope of warmer weather, longer, brighter days.  Thank you for the coming of growth, life and birth. Thank you that things are coming awake in the world.  This is what our calendar says, and we do see some signs that it is real.  But we also still struggle with the residue of winter.  Now we ask that you bring into reality all that belongs in this season.  Your Word says that we will have provision,  hope, joy, and health and loving relationships here and now in this life.

We ask that what belongs in this season would become actual in our practical lives.  We hope in You and in Your promises.  We hope in your gift of Spring.

Bible Studies

​​

In our studies, we all share equally in reading the chosen passage of Scripture and discussing what it means in its historic setting as well as its relevance to us as 21st Century believers in Jesus.

 

We are continually amazed at the richness of God's Word and how it relates to our situation.​

​

You can see what we are currently studying and learn more on our Bible Groups page here.
