Today’s Service
This week we read from John, as he describes Jesus appearing to the seven disciples.
As we reflect on this passage we can understand how it is often hard in modern society to recognise Jesus. Often Jesus comes to us in the form of another person - often we fail to recognise Jesus because we don't truly know Jesus.
Ultimately however, all we need to now about ourselves is that we are deeply loved by God. "Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God" Ephesians 3:18-19
John 21:1-19

Official Opening | Sun May 11th 1pm
We are celebrating the official opening of our new building with a visit from the Mayor and the Bishop.
We will have a sausage sizzle after our 10.30am service so please stay around to welcome them with us to the new space.
As we enjoy our new building at All Saints, it’s a good to be mindful of both the opportunities a new space and place in the community can bring and the impact change can have on ourselves. For some people change is incredibly exciting, for others it can feel like a loss. Whatever it is that we are feeling, we can always remember the promise of Scripture ‘“I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope”’.
