It’s great to have you join us this morning. A special welcome to you if you are new here. We hope you’ll stay around after the service and say hi.

Today’s Service
We read again from John today, where Jesus says "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid"
There is the challenge in the culture we live in to feel - too busy to help someone else. Too busy to hear what God might be calling you into. Too busy running, so you don't have to stop & think.
The invitation here is to stop and lean into the panic & anxiety, and recognise the need for a peace that the world cannot give us. To have our lives & our hearts transformed by God, to experience true freedom & peace that the world cannot offer.
John 14:23-29
