Peter was in trouble! He had spent time at someone’s house that was not a Jew. For the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem this was scandalous! So, when Peter returns to Jerusalem he explains what had happened and how God was calling them to a radical new way of thinking about the world.

Report on Annual Meeting 2022
Read a short description of our Annual Meeting on 8th May 2022.
Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
There will be a celebration service for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on 5th June at 11am in St. George’s church.
See and Believe (Acts 9:32-43)
We long that people would see Jesus and come to believe in him. How does that happen? Acts shows us disciples who are constantly pointing people to Jesus. In this talk Claire Coleman shows how two disciples, Peter and Dorcas, point others to Jesus.
Platinum Jubilee, Sunday 5th June
Join us for a planning meeting for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Sunday 5th June.
Youth Initiative Services
Our Youth Initiative (a group for school aged children, year 6 upwards who meet Sunday evenings in term time) did a fantastic job of leading their service on Easter Sunday evening.
Annual Meeting
Our Annual Meeting this year will be on Sunday 8th May, 11:30am after our main service and Sunday School. Between the main service and the meeting, coffee will be available in the hall. The meeting itself will be in church and everyone is welcome, although only those on the electoral roll can vote.
Can you trust the gospels?
Almost everything we know about Jesus comes from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But how can we be sure that what they tell us is reliable? Where did they get their information from? And why should we prefer these four Gospels to others that never made it into the Bible?
Calling an Enemy to Life
In this account of the conversion of Saul a number of different labels are used for Christians. As we think of the meaning behind each label and how it relates to this conversion account we find some deep insight as to what it means to be a Christian.
Freeing the Word of God
We live in a world of competing ideas. If we are to fulfil Jesus’s call to make new disciples then we need to be confident in the gospel and courageous in sharing our faith. How can we manage that? The story of the early church in Acts is a great place to look.
