The teaching of Jesus made a deep impression because he taught with integrity. Such was his focus on the will of God that he was free from the kind of distractions and double standards that can so easily cloud our response to God. Today we can allow those teachings to make a deep impression on us and we can be sure that they also have the power to reach the hearts and minds of those who until now have not believed.

However there will be a weekly Drop-in session at the Church each Tuesday between 10.00am and 12 noon for any-one wanting information about the church, its services or simply for a chat and a coffee.
