Happy New Year!

This Sunday marks the end of the Christian year with a special festival, Christ the King. We celebrate this Feast to honour the Christ 'Ruler of all, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords' (1 Tim 6:15).

A good time to review your year with Jesus and pray for your spiritual year ahead.

Advent:

Get Ready! Slow down!

Be counter-cultural. Instead of speeding up at Christmas, slow down. Think what the presence of "God with us" or "Emmanuel," really means.

Meditation has a long tradition in Christianity. Come to experience this ancient form of Christian prayer.

Church for all situations

Church doesn't stop at Sunday services. We can bring any occasion — a new house, a celebration, graduation, travel — into the company of God.

Most recently Fr Paul conducted a service of thanks for the life of a much-loved pony, Smokey Joe. When a loved horse companion dies it is a great loss. It is right that we bring our grief into the company of God and also right that we offer to God our thanks for the companionship and common life journey that we have shared.
