All services are now in St Thomas.
Clocks go forward this Sunday.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:14, NIV)
This Sunday is Mothering Sunday, originally a day for people to return to their mother church. This might be their home church, cathedral, or the nearest large church. A day to recall their introduction to the Christian faith. More recently, this has become synonymous with Mother’s Day: a day to recall and celebrate the impact mothers have on our lives, and to celebrate family life.
In our readings, we’ll read about Love, and how is brings together all other virtues from God. Why not join us on Sunday, and see how amazing love is?
We’re also being joined by Northaw School’s Choir.

Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24, NIV)
Lent is an odd time. The church is getting ready to celebrate a death, and not just any death - the death of the Son of God. When John records Jesus starting his move to Jerusalem, and the first Easter, Jesus words are one of death and resurrection: seeds die, in order to bring life. Why not join us this Sunday, as we look at how death brings life?
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. (Luke 9:37, NIV)
Jesus, Peter, James, and John have been up a mountain together. When they were there, they saw a glimpse of Jesus' glory. Then they come down from the mountain, and the crowd is already there, waiting for Jesus. What will it be like for them, having seen this glory. Will anything have changed for them? Why not join us this Sunday to find out more.
As Jesus was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. (Luke 9:29, NIV)
As we continue in Luke, we reach the odd account of Jesus' transfiguration. Jesus' appearance and clothes change and Moses and Elijah appear. What is happening? What do we learn about Jesus, as we read this passage? Why not join us this Sunday, as we find out more?
‘But what about you?’ Jesus asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ (Luke 9:20, NIV)
This is the single most important question that has ever been asked, or could ever be asked. Who do you say Jesus is? How we answer that one question has the greatest impact on the whole of our lives. Who do you say Jesus us? You'd be really welcome to find out more, in our services this Sunday.
