Church Tech Training – Get Involved!

The historic Church is now open again following its recent refurbishment, and it has been fitted with an exciting range of brand-new technology. The updated setup includes a new visual mixer and audio desk, bringing the Church’s production systems much more in line with those in the Auditorium.

To help our teams get familiar with the new equipment, Chris Smith will be running a Church Tech Training Session from 7:00–9:00pm on Thursday, 9 July, in the Church.

Whether you’re already part of a production team or would like to learn, this is a great opportunity to develop new skills. With the Church and Auditorium now operating in very similar ways, we’re hoping to equip more people to serve confidently in either venue.

If audio is your passion, you’ll especially enjoy experiencing the Church’s wonderful natural acoustics, which make mixing worship a real pleasure.

Day of Prayer

On Sunday 5 July, we are dedicating a whole day as a Day of Prayer. We start at nine o’clock in church with a service of Morning Prayer. Then at the Ten-Thirty join us for some practical teaching on how or pray effectively. And finally for our Six-Thirty Celebration we have a creative prayer space to pray for our church, the world and each other. Don’t miss it!

‘eternity’ – Four Evenings Exploring Life’s Big Questions

Midweek Summer Teaching Series

This summer we’re excited to invite you to a new four-week evening teaching series entitled: eternity- Looking at life’s big questions from God’s perspective.

Together we’ll explore some of the deepest questions people ask about life, faith and eternity — including heaven and hell, suffering and healing, identity and purpose, and the hope and security we can find in God.

Whether you are new to faith or have followed Jesus for many years, these evenings will be an opportunity to learn, reflect, ask questions, worship together, and receive prayer and ministry.
