The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany

Creator God, who in the beginning 
commanded the light to shine out of darkness: 
We pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ 
may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, 
shine into the hearts of all your people, 
and reveal the knowledge of your glory 
in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen.

W
Worship on Wednesday
   
 29th February @ 6.30 pm!
   
The service, which will last just forty five minutes, is held on the last Wednesday each month.  It's designed for those who cannot join Sunday Services and some who would like to go to church but don't really want to "do" Sundays just yet!  It is interactive, imaginative and lots of fun (and food) as we worship God and get to know one another.

Developing a Parish Vision Statement
... a work in progress ...

So far:

We aim to draw people to Christ: the way, the truth and the life.  
...


How do we fulfil this aim?


We will try to …


   Grow closer to God through teaching, prayer and Bible Study.

   Reach out to one another in love and friendship.

   Engage with the local community in new and creative ways.

   Have a world vision as we continue to be involved with the wider church through partnership and practical commitment.
