Our worship commission met for the first time this week. Our aim is to think creatively about our three worship services and consider how we can do everything possible to help people to encounter God in worship. When I asked the group what we value most about our experience of corporate worship, it was striking that the responses had nothing to do with the quality of music or preaching or anything like that, but we said that what we really longed for was to see all our people participating actively in worship and meeting with God (and we recognised that that encounter with God can take place in so many different ways).

We have a few plans that we are working on, but one thing you will notice from this weekend is that if you are on our WhatsApp group you will receive a few details about the Sunday services in advance - the Bible readings and theme. This is to help us all to prepare so that when we come to worship we are able to come expecting that we will meet God and hear from him.

And we would love to hear from you too! Your feedback about your experience of Sunday worship is really helpful. Bless you as prepare for worship this week!
