Friendship Matters – Jesus, friend of sinners
Jesus spent time with all the ‘wrong’ people, those who didn’t live up to the standards expected of them, taking their shame and disappointment, and the judgement of others onto himself. He continues to offer friendship, welcome and compassion to all, especially those of us who have ‘missed the mark’ (a literal translation of the […]
Friendship Matters – Mary, Martha & Lazarus
Continuing our series on friendship, Ben reflects on Jesus’ friendship with Mary, Martha and Lazarus which is recorded in John’s gospel chapters 11 and 12. Friendship with Jesus is transformative.

A New Year Prayer – Reflections by Aidan. We welcome this year with God, who else would you want to welcome a new year with? In the beginning there was the Word from whom all things where made, so by welcoming God we are declaring a connection with our creator this year. The Spirit of […]
Happy Christmas
This advent, as we’ve been preparing to celebrate, I have been reading Revelation, along with those who come along to 9:30am prayers. I’ve found myself noticing how the story of Christmas is entwined with the hope of Jesus’ return and of everything being put right. The king who came at Christmas, as a little baby – vulnerably, […]
