We are really pleased that we are having Ben Goodyear, vicar of St Paul's, Brixton coming to share our evening service. Ben has been working with us over the past two years on the bid with the church commissioners. He will be sharing the focus of what they have been up to as well as preaching on the work of the Holy Spirit. Do join us for a great evening of worship and encouragement.
One of the great fears that many have is sharing their faith naturally with their friends and neighbours. The Lost for Words course is aimed at helping you look at how you can tell your story naturally to others and to realise that we all have different parts to play in seeing God's Kingdom come. Please sign up today in the foyer The six week course starts on: Weds 22nd Oct, 7.45-9.45pm @ the Trinity Centre or Friday 24th Oct, 9.15- 11.15 am @ the Youth Zone at Foresters Primary school this Thursday 23rd October We have another great opportunity to serve and be involved with the school community.
