Should we bother ?

Given that the earth is temporary and dying (2 Peter 3:10,12) and the curse of sin means that both man and creation groan with labour pains (Romans 8:22) ............ Should we or can we do anything to change things ?

Come on Friday to find out.

'God saw that it was good'

Does He still think so ?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth............... He gave us dominion over it.......instructed us to multiply, fill the earth and subdue it.

This Friday we are starting a new theme looking at environmental issues and examining the Christian role of stewardship.
This week its film night and we will be watching 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
Do join us at 7 for 7.30pm.

Did you get the Message ?

Good Friday Night

This week its our Friday Night Easter service.

Please join us for food, live music, quiet contemplation and noisy celebration.

Let us worship Him and give Him praise. The King of Kings.

Save Us !

' Hosanna ! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord ! ' (Mark 11:9)

This Friday we will focus on the meaning of Palm Sunday for us as individuals. What is the significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, then ........and now ?

Poverty continued...

Last Friday Comic relief on the television really highlighted to millions of us that we live in a world where there is much poverty and injustice.

Jesus told his disciples ' The poor will always be among you' (Matt 26:11)

Did God intend a world of oppression, disease, starvation and misery ?

Are we to simply tolerate this as the way things are ?

Poverty

Over 11 million people live in a low income household in the UK.

More than 4 million adults received less than the minimum wage for working in 2006.

Adults in the poorest of our society are twice as likely to develop mental illness.

Children from manual social backgrounds are 1 and half times more likely to die as infants than those from other backgrounds.

A third of homes in England where classed as non-decent in 2004.
