Jesus - mad, bad or God? - Sunday 6th June 2021
Sorry we didn’t manage to livestream the service this morning.
However, we recorded the sermon at St Stephen’s. We thought about what family means. Jesus family thought he was mad, the religious leaders thought he was bad, Jesus offers those who believe he’s God the chance to join his family. Listen to Rosemary preach on the gospel reading from Mark 3

We do not grieve like those with no hope - Sunday 11th April
“Love as Christ loved us” Does the bible set the bar too high? Listen to Mike’s talk to see what he thinks.
Hear how he makes a connection to Prince Philip and the Queen.
We know our bodies are wasting away but our citizenship is in heaven - this is the hope that Queen has and so do we.

Growing Back
What's the plan?
Stage one: Recentre our lives on Jesus as we safely navigate a way to meet together.
Stage two: Journey from Easter through to Pentecost, and beyond, aiming to re-establish weekly services across the benefice, all subject to national guidance.
Stage three: Through prayer and planning, seek God's will to build and establish new growth.
