Mail from the Manse – January
A very happy New Year to you and may 2020 give us all the clear vision we need to be SEEING OUR SAVIOUR in every area and aspect of our lives, that we might be ever more the faithful and fruitful whole-life disciples He would have us to be. Remember, in order to follow Christ closely, we must closely follow Christ.

Post from Paul
Welcome to the Month of May! We are a third of the way through 2019 already. How did that happen? Spring is a great season – the lighter, longer days, the sun (hopefully) shining and signs of life bursting forth after the winter months. As a church, we enter an exciting season – a season full of expectancy. In faith, I am looking for increased signs of the Spirit’s activity amongst us as we see lives touched and changed by the life-giving reality of Jesus.

The Rising Sun of Christmas
