The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus dominate the gospels and the writings of the early church. These events are the most decisive in all history, changing the world and transforming lives.
In the weeks of the Easter season we’ll be focussing on Paul’s letter to the Colossians. It begins with the biggest themes, as the significance of Jesus and the events of Easter are celebrated. But these aren’t abstract ideas. Very soon the letter asks questions about the implications of this transforming grace for practical living.
At Pentecost and in the week’s that follow, we’ll look in greater detail at the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Being ‘resurrection people’ is about new life in the Spirit of God and you’ll discover more of this freedom in these services.
Our “All Together Church” services are for all ages and last no more than one hour. “The Word Service” includes a time of more focussed teaching and, like our communion services, lasts just under an hour and a half.
