Summer Sermon Series

Encounters with Jesus What is it like to meet Jesus Christ? What happens when we meet him? How are we challenged, inspired, transformed? From next Sunday, we will be beginning our 2013 Summer Sermon Series on the theme of Encounters with Jesus, plunging into some wonderful passages of encounter with Jesus in Johns gospel. We will see how peoples lives were changed by those encounters, and explore together what it means for each of us, today, to be encountering the Living Christ and living in the power of his resurrected Spirit. Do begin praying in preparation for this journey well be sharing together
