Get ready for a wonderful weekend, starting Friday Dec 2nd, of thoughtful celebration and worshipful meditation, as we look deep into what Advent means to, and for us!

Do take note - on Sunday Dec 4th, our cafe-style Church 'Passion4', is right in the middle of 'Adventus' - our arts-weekend celebration of Advent. We've combined the two together, and it's going to be fun! Read more ...

Here's a link to the video based around the 'Magnificat' we used in Thirst this month. Great for a Worship time in Small Group this week or next....
You can play it directly from the site on a laptop or media streamer, or I have an edited version that you can play locally. Just get in touch if you'd like to use it.

I would like to extend this special invitation for you to come and Worship at ADVENTUS this coming TUESDAY EVENING (8th December) at HT, from 8pm onwards. Please come in by the Croft Road door. Perhaps you would like to come with your Small Group? Or you will of course be more than welcome if you come on your own, or with your family.

Sometimes there are songs that I choose consistently over a number of weeks because the lyrics in some way represent 'where we are' as a Church, and more importantly what God is doing at that time.
