When Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!’ (Luke 19:37-38, NIV)
This is the moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem, just a week before his death. What kind of welcome will he recieve? What does it say about him? How should we respond to Jesus?

‘Leave her alone,’ Jesus replied. ‘It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.’ (John 12:7-8, NIV)
What does true worship look like? As Easter gets closer, we have this account of Mary pouring expensive perfume on Jesus' feet. What does it tell us about who Jesus is, and how does it help us see what true worship is? Why not join us on Sunday morning?

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.
