Harvest weekend: Roy Searle visit 11th-12th October

We are delighted that our friend Roy Searle will be joining us for our Harvest celebration this year, and as in previous years he has offered to speak to us on Saturday morning and during the service on Sunday.

Saturday morning: 10.30 – 12.00 ‘Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling’ 

Join Roy Searle, former Baptist Union President, Pioneer Ambassador, leader of Northumbria Community and leadership mentor, in conversation. Roy has recently published, with his friend and co-author the Canadian missiologist Alan Roxburgh, a book about how we can all encourage one another to dwell and discern what the Spirit is doing in our neighbourhoods and join in with what God is doing: exploring, forming and developing communities of hope. The morning will provide an opportunity to engage with the themes of Roy’s book and practice some of the habits of dwelling, discerning and exploring. All very welcome.

Sunday morning at our 10:30 Service: God the Potter

Roy will be preaching from Jeremiah 18, emphasising the reworking, redeeming and transforming work of God in our lives, the church and society.

Harvest Sunday lunch

The morning service will be followed by Harvest Lunch in the hall. Please do sign up using our online form (link in newsletter) or the paper form (on the table as you come into the main church entrance), or let the church office know.
