Our service is held on Mothering Sunday, the special day when we remember mothers everywhere. Thanking God for our own mothers and being happy to be mothers ourselves and even grandmothers… but remembering all those for whom Mothering Sunday is not a day of celebration but a day of grief. Thinking of those mothers who have lost their children through various causes. It’s sad but these mothers won’t be receiving a card today. We mustn’t forget those who would love to be mothers but are struggling.
The second part of the sermon is about the Prodigal son: Jesus is like the parents in our parable He loves us with an unconditional love… he loves us no matter what we do. With our faith we can ask Him for help, to show us the way and guide us along the pathways He has chosen for us.
Thank you to Janice Seyman for our scripture readings, Bob Wilson for our Intercessions and the choir for the beautiful music, Pastora Jeanie for the inspiring sermon, David Sanders for recording the service and José Cueto for uploading it to YouTube..

Today we are going to be looking at the parable of the Fig Tree. Our God is a God of second chances. The fig tree is often portrayed as a symbol of Israel. The fig trees can grow up to 25 feet tall and 20 feet wide…they can fruit as many as 2-3 times a year. They can grow without much attention but obviously thrive much better if looked after. But, how does this show that God is so loving, that he gives us second and third, and more chances. Watch the video to find out how this can be.
Thank you to Brenda Hamilton for our scripture readings, Helen Tudor for our Intercessions, Pastora Jeanie for the eye-opening sermon, Bob Wilson and the choir for the beautiful music, and José Cueto for recording the service.

Today we are going to be looking at Abram and how he believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Three promises were made to Abram, and I believe they are as much ours today as they were for that time in history. We have to claim these promises and believe God.
What are those three promises, and how do they affect us today? Watch the video to find out.
Thank you to Brian Todd for our scripture readings, Howard Cook for our Intercessions, Rick Boyle for leading our service and for his very interesting sermon, and José Cueto for recording the service.
Today’s reading is all about Jesus being tempted by the devil in the desert. Help us to overcome temptation just as your Son Jesus was able to resist the devil when He was in the desert. Give us the strength to say ‘No’ even when the temptation is very strong.
In our reading we heard how Jesus coped with the temptations of the devil but how do we cope with the many temptations that face us in our daily lives? Watch this video to find out some things we can do.
Thank you to Colin Anderson for our scripture readings, Bob Wilson for our Intercessions, Pastora Jeanie for leading our Service and delivering this inspiring sermon, and José Cueto for recording the service.

Today, we come together to worship our faithful God, who walks life’s journey with us. As we strive to be the people God created us to be, let us dedicate ourselves to nurturing our faith. During the season of Lent, we need glimpses of what is to come: we need reassurance that Easter is coming, even when we are in the gloom of winter, the knowledge that Spring will come encourages us to continue, to persevere even in the bleakest hours, days, and weeks leading up to Lent. Watch the video to discover how Nicodemus and others on their journey to Faith led them to Jesus Christ, and may our journey bring us to the Saviour of the world. Thank you to Rick Boyle for leading the Service and for our Intercessions, Pastora Krista for writing the thought-provoking sermon and thanks to Dot Colling for reading it to us, and finally thanks to José Cueto for recording the service.
