Current sermon series
As we settle from the highs of the Resurrection Sunday and wait for Pentecost Sunday, we would like to spend time in prayer and learning about prayer. There are a few great prayers from the Old Testament that we will focus on.
Do you ever get lost for words when it comes to prayer? Are there things you want to say but are unsure how to say them? Or perhaps you wonder if there is more to prayer, more ways to pray than what you’re experiencing in your prayer life? The good news is that the Bible is full of prayers that have become timeless aids for Christians throughout the generations. We can borrow their words, we can learn from their stories to enable us to pray to our Father in heaven with greater love, deeper humility and eager expectation that He will answer!

Christianity Explored
Have you ever had questions about Christianity and wished for a safe place to ask those questions?
Who did Jesus claim to be and why should we trust him?
Why did he die and did he really rise?
How does that affect me?
Whether you are a sceptic or a believer, a seasoned Christian or new to faith, young or old, this is a relaxed, welcoming space to explore together the claims of Christ.
Everyone is invited, and it’s a great opportunity to bring a friend along.
Join seven weekly conversations exploring who life is all about with an additional day away.
Wednesday evenings at 6pm starting on 6th May @ St Stephens
