As a church, we’re a family. And our family is growing!
One way we welcome new brothers and sisters into our family is through Church Membership.
Recently, we were delighted to welcome Rosemary and Jim, James, Becki and James into membership.
They took the chance to share their stories of how Jesus has changed their lives.
You can hear them here…
Our first Let’s Do Lunch meal took place a few weeks back, when around 40 of us gathered at The Durham Centre after church for a two-course lunch, prepared by some wonderful volunteers.
The idea was twofold:
1) To help people meet new friends in the church
2) To help old friends catch up over food
“Let’s Do Lunch was such a blessing! I’m a busy mum of five and to be cooked for was amazing, the food was really good and nice to be able to spend time with church family”
“We signed up for the Let’s do Lunch not knowing what to expect. What a lovely surprise to find the room prepared and tables attractively set with flowers too! We were waited on by friendly and efficient helpers and enjoyed a delicious two-course meal in a real family atmosphere. You could sit with friends or mix up with those not so well known to you. All in all a great idea soon to be repeated we hope and such a blessing to be catered for”
Following this initial success, Let’s Do Lunch will return on Sunday 16th June.
The meal is offered on a ‘pay what you feel’ basis.
Sign up is required in advance. Please contact Jenny Booth. Please state any dietary requirements.
We're joining our Regions Beyond family of churches in supporting a global offering, to support the worldwide work. Here, Steve Oliver, leader of Regions Beyond, speaks about what difference last year's offering made - and what we're looking to God for in the year ahead.
We willbe giving into this appeal from Sunday 5th November, our next Gift Day, with the opportunity to give available throughout November.
