News and events for the week beginning 20th July 2014

New series starts today: ‘God’s Leading’

Today we begin our 19-week series through the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel. It’s all about how God leads his people, as we see him lead his kingdom through the influence of Samuel, Saul and David. Today Jodie preaches from 1 Samuel 1 with the title, ‘God leads us when we grieve’.
