For Sunday 4th January - 11.00am



This Sunday we will be celebrating the Epiphany of our Lord a couple of days early. The word 'epiphany' means 'manifestation' or 'showing plainly'. Epiphany is an extension of Christmas. Now Christ, who came to earth, is shown as Saviour to the whole world - to us and to all people, as originally to the wise men from the East.

We will be thinking about how Christ continues to reveal His glory to us, and through us, to the world.

Divine Service will begin at 11.00am and will be followed by a shared lunch.

God's peace,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 21st Dec, Christmas Eve & Christmas Day



In the midst of the hectic pace of December, the peace of God is about to descend upon us as we rejoice in the gift of the Christ Child once again. Over the next few days we will have plenty of opportunities to hear the angels' joyful proclamation, to sing our favourtie carols and to take the very body and blood of our Lord who was born of the Virgin Mary.

Please join us for the following services:

Sunday 21st 11.00am - Service of readings and carols
Wednesday 24th 7.30pm - Children's Christmas Service
Christmas Day 8.30am - Service with Holy Communion

The peace of God be with you all,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 14th December 2008 - 8.30am

Divine Service will begin at 8.30am this Sunday.

We will be joining with God's people of old as we reflect on His work to clothe us with righteousness and salvation, thinking particularly of our baptism. And so with Isaiah we will say:

I delight greatly in the LORD;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Our Sunday School children will continue their preparations for the Christmas Eve service.

God's peace,
Pastor Matt
