Welcome to BIG CHURCH- the one where we’re All-in!

The service this morning will be led by Jason, Ros, Claire, Chris and Sarah with a little help from some familiar friends!

The Bible says:

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”

James 1 v 12

 

  • WHAT? Today, we’ll be finding out why PERSEVERANCE is so important, looking at how the Wise Men persevered in following the star, on what seemed like a crazy quest.
  • HOW? Through God’s Word, music, drama, discussion, being still, moving, creating, thinking, writing, not writing, doodling, watching, listening…and more!
  • PREPARE… Come ready to encounter and be changed by God and grow in relationship with Him.
  • PRAY… That the Holy Spirit will inspire and challenge you and that Jesus will be the focus of all our worship.
  • FINALLY… We encourage you to fill up the church from the front and pray that you will leave the service having learnt something new.
