Today at our churches
St Leodegar's Church
Revd Roger Pullen took our Morning Praise service today. We had 14 members of the congregation attend today. The sermon focused on Eastertide themes (Acts 7 and John 14). We looked at transitioning from Easter joy into daily discipleship, focusing on trust, the comfort of Jesus, and living with hope amidst world challenges.
St Stephen's Church
Revd David Nason covered all 3 of today’s readings. Stephen was the first martyr because he kept talking about Jesus and the new way, so much so that we was willing to lose his life. Church is not buildings, but ‘living stones’ – not a club but a way of life, a new way. Jesus promised that He is going ahead of us to prepare a place for us in His Father’s house.
If you want to read these texts, again: Acts 7:55-60; 1 Peter 2:2-10, John 14:1-14
Sunday School looked at God’s wonderful creations. They created galaxy bottles with paint, glitter and cotton wool, drew pictures and planted sunflower seeds.
