1. When will Phil retire? Is he going to leave the church when he does? Phil is planning to retire at the end of 2020, but he is not intending to leave the church family. 2. Does our intention to develop a ‘year out’ mean we are going to stop our work with the …
Last week (Weds 29th May) we had our May Family Afternoon at Hawbush Gardens! I have attached some photos for those of you that are more visual- Thank you Dave Hadley for popping along to take the photos!! We also had 2 family afternoons in the Easter Holidays but unfortunately we didn’t manage to get …
A big thank you to everyone who contributed clothes, colouring books, pens, pencils, toiletries and cash for my recent trip. All items were gratefully received and put to good use. We were able to get the church and school hooked up to Wifi while we were there and we also paid to have the playground …
Regular readers may remember some initial reservations I had regarding their average CU experience and exposure before talking on the mantle of committee. I needn’t have worried though because they’re amazing. They’ve got enthusiasm coming out of their ears and are so fired up for God it’s incredible. They even-get this- read the Bible together …
Just wanted to share a glimpse of what God is doing with our kids on Sundays! This Sunday we had 2 songs with the kids – ‘My Lighthouse’ that they sang and danced to and an instrumental worship song where we had ‘soaking time’. During the soaking song we lay down and tried to listen …
A 37-hour journey, an emotional reunion, the joys of Christian community, a few days of hard work, and lots of encouragement. That’s how I would summarise my recent trip to Argentina (18 March to 1 April). A few people have kindly asked me about it, so I thought I would write an article for our newsletter …

Hey church fam. Hope life is treating you well. In case you don’t know, in January of this year I left to attend a 6-month programme called a Discipleship Training School, with the organisation YWAM. The first 3 months were labelled Lecture Phase and I was based in Perth, Australia. I had a class of …
Dear all, I’ve been wondering about whether a group of us from church might want to go on holiday together over the summer. I always feel that you get to know each other in a whole different way when you go away to the beach together!! Now I’m not suggesting organising a ‘church holiday’ where …
Every time I write a news update I always feel disappointed that I’m not producing a newsletter on a more regular basis. It’s not for the want of trying or even that I don’t have the desire. I often feel amazed at how long it’s been since my keyboard engaged in some newsletter action. I guess real life rather …
This Sunday we have the privilege of dedicating Zachary Welch & Daniel Cox. Dedications are an opportunity for us, the family of God, to join with parents, relatives and friends in giving our thanks to God for these children.
