Principal Services January to March 2007

This first quarter of 2007 sees a mixture of services which take their starting points from:
  • the Common Worship Lectionary.
  • contemporary issues in church and society.
  • three figures from the early era of Israel’s history in the times of the Judges.
  • the challenge to develop our Christian character as part of our ongoing discipleship.
