Guess the sound!
On Sunday we begin a new series looking at the book of Jonah, can you guess what the sound is? Have a read of Jonah chapter 1, listen carefully to the sound above (warning – it’s quite loud so turn your volume down first!) and see if you can work it out. The first child…

Are we nearly there yet?!
Can you believe that we are just about half way through the year?! The first cut is done, the children have got (or are about to get!) their holidays. Perhaps you feel that the year has flown by, for others it may have dragged. Well, however the first half has been, the second half lies…

Psalm 1: How to be Happy
Over the next few months, we will be looking at the Book of Psalms. These are the only songs God has given us to sing in his praise and as we consider the message of these psalms, our praise will be enriched. The first psalm is a wonderful introduction to the book. As we sing…
