'Lets stop building bigger barns. Lets build a house, a community, a world where love can dwell.'
This week is the start of our new series about Creation. Paul talked to us about consumption and reminded us that life does not exist in an abundance of possessions. Putting our trust in God and pursuing giving are the paths we are to follow.
The readings were from Exodus 16: 2-5 and 14-20 and Luke 12: 13-34.
Catch up on this morning’s action-packed all-ages service, led by Graeme with the excellent assistance of our brilliant kids. We considered the boxes we find ourselves put in and how God can liberate us from them. Perhaps you can recreate the joyful cardboard chaos at home!
"God loves us because it's God's nature, and will, to love. And it's ours." As part of our Summer of Love series, Pauline speaks through personal experience and New Testament figures about the love of God, loving others, and loving ourselves in the clarity of who we truly are.
This morning, in the next of our Summer of Love series, we were expecting Jonathan to share with us but unfortunately, he tested positive for COVID so Heston stepped in at the last moment.
“Perfect love drives out fear”. What a privilege to hear from Hayley yesterday morning as we celebrated Pride Sunday.

After our service we headed down to join the parade
