Advent
As as church we will be following the advent reflections produced by the Evangelical Alliance.
Profile of a King
Advent refelections on the birth of Jesus
We spend so much time making judgments and placing people in boxes - family, background, money, influence or nationality.
The word 'profiling' has become part of our language as we use human standards to assess people, inside and out. But the birth of Jesus breaks all these divides and instead speaks of welcome - to the poor, the outcast, the forgotten, the judged - even welcome to us.
These daily devotionals will look at different aspects of Jesus' birth and seek to challenge our stereotypes but also encourage us in our adoption as sons and daughters of Christ.

Kingdom.com
In July we began a series called Kingdom.com where each week we looked at a parable that Jesus told. People were encouraged to read through the parable during the week and bring their thoughts, questions and challenges to share on a Sunday.
We looked at the following parables:
- The mustard seed
- The unmerciful servant
- Labourers in the vineyard
- Pearl and the treasure
- Friend at midnight
- Lost sheep, lost coin, lost son
- New wine for new wineskins
- The 10 minas
- The dragnet
- The pharisee and the publican
- Good samaritan
- Marriage of the king's son
- House on the rock
- Two debtors
- Sheep and the goats
- Sower and the seed
It has been good to be challenged by these practical stories and to see some of them in new ways.
