50 men: making it count

Like a dog with a bone, I’m just going to keep chewing your ear about the trip up to Brisbane…
We’ve had a bit of conversation about the event, chewed over the controversy, given credit where credit was due, now I’d love to hear what guys are doing in response. It was great to hear about [...] [...]

Follow the Leader

Key Verse
In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

Keep it Real

Hi all
Just posting a brief blog as I finalise some preparation for Sunday’s Bible Talk. It’s a funny thing preaching again after one of the longest breaks I’ve had from it in 11 years – 6 weeks off. And a time, with Rossie’s illness, where my focus has been very much elsewhere than preaching (unlike, [...] [...]

Get ready for Celebration Sunday! It’s happening on Sunday 21 September, where our morning & evening congregations meet to celebrate God and the great things he is doing in our church family (please note there will be no night church!).
