Sunday 26th May - 8.30am

 
FESTIVAL OF THE HOLY TRINITY
This Sunday is the festival of the Holy Trinity - a day when we get to focus in a special way on what it means that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This divine mystery is at the centre of our faith and while we may not be able to fully understand how we can have one God in three persons, the perfect union that exists between all three is something to which we are drawn and invited through faith in Christ.

I look forward to worshipping together with you. Service begins at 8.30am.
 
Here are the readings for your preparation: 
Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31 Wisdom's role in creation 
Romans 5:1-5 The Christian experience of the Trinity 
John 16:12-15 The Spirit from God will bear witness to Jesus


The blessing of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with you always,
Pastor Matt

Sunday 19th May - 11am

This Sunday is Pentecost - that great celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit and the reversal of Babel. By God's grace the Holy Spirit was poured out on those present in Jerusalem and they were enabled to hear and so were brought to faith Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. God still works the same way today as the Holy Spirit calls, gathers and enlightens those with ears to hear through the gospel. Thanks be to God for this wonderful gift!


The readings are included below for your preparation and service begins at 11am.


Genesis 11:1-9 The tower of Babel and confusion of tongues
Acts 2:1-21 The coming of the Holy Spirit
John 14:8-17(25-27) Jesus promises the Holy Spirit

God's peace,
Pastor Matt
