Are you caring for a baby or toddler on a Thursday morning and would you like friendship, a cup of tea and somewhere for your child to play? We also provide a craft activity, a story and songs. If so, please come and try Oasis in St Mary’s Church from 10am – 11.30am on Thursdays. We will be looking out for you and you will be made welcome.
In the lead up to Easter we will be looking at The Gospel According to Matthew. Running for eleven weeks, this series will take us on a journey through Jesus’ life and teaching, culminating in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the joy of his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Here is the schedule of readings: 9 February Matthew 1:1-17 The Family of God 16 February Matthew 4:12-25 The Kingdom is Near 23 February Matthew 5:1-16 The Upside-Down Kingdom 2 March Matthew 5:38-48 The Call to Radical Love 9 March Matthew 6:5-15 The Lord’s Prayer 16 March Matthew 8:23-34 The Power of the Kingdom 23 March Matthew 22:1-14 The Invitation to the Banquet 30 March Matthew 18:21-35 The Heart of Forgiveness 6 April Matthew 22:34-46 The Great Commandment 13 April Matthew 21:1-17 The King Enters His City 20 April Matthew 28:1-10 The Risen King
Following on from the success of last year's 24-7 prayer event, we will be doing a similar event this year - this time for 6 days! As a church family, we will commit to praying for 24 hours a day, for 6 days from 9 to 15 March. Lots more details to follow, but please do save the date!
