Welcome to the podcast!
The episodes contain the guided meditations/prayers and messages from our weekly services. We hope that you'll join us on zoom in the live gathering but if you aren't able to do that then we have this podcast.
We have begun a new series of messages following the Lectionary put together by Wilda C. Gafney - A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Church, Year W.
Our intention is to always keep Jesus front and centre and so our focus as we talk from the lectionary passages is 'Jesus at the Centre - of our every day'
We are gathering together in our Zoom space this weekend and are looking forward to being together.
You may like to join up with others in their homes so you can join the zoom together, share a meal, and enjoy being with others as we worship in different locations around the area and across the world.
We will start a few minutes after 10:30am and we'll be ready to let you in to the gathering at 10:30am.
Contact Sarah for an invite.
The passages that Sarah Pickering will be starting from are: 1 Sam 4:2, 5-11, 19-22; Psalm 77:1-12, 19-20; Romans 5:1-5; John 14:25-31
Sarah has chosen songs for us to worship with ahead of being together, from Friday you can find the playlists on YouTube or Spotify and there is a lyrics page that you can download on the Sung Worship page of our site.
LGBTQ+ Resources
Keep popping back here as this is an ever evolving list of resources
On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.
Hope you can join us!
Contact Sarah to be added to the list to join us live on Zoom.

Message Sarah if you want more info or to let her know you're coming to any of these things.
Contact the office if you would like to connect with others midweek and start or join a group.
We are making plans for the fall, let us know if you have an idea for a group or a book study or something else - let's use the summer break to get creative.
There may be a time when some in our community need to stay home and isolate. We want to be able to help you as you need it. There are members of our community who will be happy to pick up groceries for you, bring you a nice coffee, visit through a window, pray for you, or try and meet whatever need you have.
Let us know how we can help by contacting the church office. It's said way too often, but nonetheless it is still true; we are in this together.
