A playlist of our favourite Christmas songs this year – from our family to yours. Steve: “This is my favourite Christian band at the moment and Christmas is probably my favourite time of year. So putting the two together was always going to be a winner. I used some elements in one of our recent services and we enjoyed sitting down to watch the live Christmas special as a family.

Creation's Song (24/11/20)

Creation’s Song (24/11/20)

By Jane Field

Some time ago I was reading Job 38:7 which says ‘when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God (angels) shouted for joy’ (AMP). 

The other day I found this passage by C.S.Lewis:-

What a beautiful description of the fourth day of creation! 

It has been shown that every planet, star, galaxy etc. produce their own sound e.g Earth plays a C sharp and…

In The Valley (18/11/20)

In The Valley (18/11/20)

Life is full of ups and downs, of peaks and troughs, of mountaintops and valleys. For many of us, we may feel like we are in the valley right now. But as Billy Graham once said “Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.”

So often people want to live on the mountaintop. Don’t we all love the mountaintop experiences? They are fulfilling, and exciting, and…

Dear God (16/11/20)

By Steve Salkeld

Have you ever written a letter to God?

You may think that’s an odd question – your response may be ‘what’s his address?’ ‘I don’t have to, I can pray’ ‘God knows everything I have to say anyway’

A Rock in the Storm (12/11/20) What do we do when we face challenges that make us wonder what's ahead? The answers are not always easy, and the direction is not always clear.

Philippians 1 (10/11/20)

By Steve Salkeld

Recently I preached on Philippians 1 asking if we are ‘finished’.

About a week later I heard another sermon along a similar vein. That in itself got me thinking; if the Holy Spirit was prompting me to preach on that particular subject then nudging me to listen to another sermon, then the subject matter must be relevant and important. That’s not to say that anything in the…

Bobby Ball (04/11/20)

By Sue Vander Byl

It was in the news last week that the comedian Bobby Ball had died. He was part of a double act, Cannon and Ball, and latterly was on a sit com with Lee Mack. What may be not so well known is the fact that he was a born again, committed Christian, who came to faith later in his life. After his dramatic conversion his partner Tommy Cannon became a Christian too.

Below is…

Autumn prayer (02/11/20)

By Cheryl Christian

Rydal Water (2012)

Lord as we look out onto your beautiful world, bathed in glorious Autumn colours we thank you.

When we see the bright golden leaves, we are thankful to you for our wealth; for the fact that we can afford shelter, warmth and an abundance of food. We bring to you those who are without a home, those who cannot afford to heat their home and those who go…

Christ the Vine (29/10/20)

Christ the Vine (29/10/20)

By Susanna Salkeld

John 15:5 (NLT) 5 "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

I was reading this verse the other day in my daily reading and since then the song “You are the vine, we are the branches” keeps going round in my head!

God is the ‘gardener’, Jesus is the ‘vine’ and we…
