Then next Sunday after church we’d love you to plan to stick around for lunch followed by a special church family prayer gathering. With the recent announcement of the Winter’s upcoming move from Brighton to plant a church…

Hello Church, Over the last few weeks we’ve had our eyes lifted to see God’s big mission in his big world. This Sunday we stick with the theme as we are encouraged from Psalm 145 together.
