News

Bible Study

We have continued our look at the Easter narrative, incuding the betrayal of Jesus, the trials, Pilate’s not-guilty verdict and the imposition of the death penalty.  As we continue with the events of ‘Good Friday’, may we appreciate more of the amazing love which took Jesus to the cross for our sake.

Diary

We run the following weekly services and meetings:
  • Breaking of Bread 10:00am - 11:00am on Sundays
    At the Last Supper, just before He was crucified, Jesus asked His followers to share bread and wine, representing His body and blood, in memory of Him in His death. At the 'breaking of bread', or 'communion', committed Christians obey Jesus's request and join together to worship Him.
  • Afternoon Service 4:30pm - 5:15pm on Sundays
    A service of hymns/songs, prayers and a talk based on a Bible theme or passage lasts about three quarters of an hour and is followed by a cup of tea and a more informal time of fellowship. You can listen to recordings of previous services here.
  • Bible Study (House Group) and Prayer Meeting 7:00pm - 8:15pm on Wednesdays
    We discuss a passage from the Bible and think about how God is speaking to us through it. Note that this month there is no Bible Study on Wednesday 22nd May.

Last Month

Visit from SASRA

Last month we enjoyed our annual visit from two representatives of SASRA, the Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association, who updated us on their work with the armed forces, particularly new recruits who are offered copies of the New Testament, friendship and support, as they become accustomed to life in a new and challenging environment.

SASRA personnel work with chaplains in army bases and RAF stations from Inverness to Winchester. They bring welcome support to Christians in the forces, and they offer the message of the Christian Gospel informally and in meetings, one-to-one and in groups.  Their role is now more varied than the original vision of its founders nearly 200 years ago, which was to read the Bible to the many recruits who were illiterate.

Thought for the Month

Bird-watching from my armchair

This spring I’ve been watching from my favourite chair the development of a new rookery – a small one, just three nests so far.  The nests are at the top of an ash tree.  The first one took about four days to build, both birds of the pair contributing to the effort.  Now the eggs have been incubated and the young are being fed.  Two energetic fledglings must be nearly ready to leave. 

Once they take to the air, their lives will be transformed.  They will be in the element they are designed for, and their view of life’s possibilities will no longer be restricted to twigs and branches.  At present, there’s a lot of flapping as they try out their wings in the security of the nest.  Sometimes they stand on the edge and take a look at the world outside.  But they haven’t yet found the courage to launch themselves into the air.  I hope I’m watching when they do!

Often in our own lives life-changing decisions have to be made – decisions which will open up wider horizons:  perhaps a new interest, a new career, a new home or a new friendship.  Sometimes these significant decisions take a bit of courage.  The most important life-enhancing decision we can make is to follow Jesus, to accept Him as Saviour and Lord.

This puts us in a right relationship with God – the relationship God intends for us, which opens up a new view of life and its purpose.  Such a decision may take a bit of courage, just as my fledgling rooks may need a bit of courage to fly for the first time.  When they do, they’ll delight in the freedom of their new lives!
