Worship Sun 30 Oct: 'Going up'

WELCOME/ Hello and welcome to our time of worship. Last time, we heard the story of a pharisee and a tax collector, and contemplated both pride, and authenticity when approaching God – keeping it real. 

This week, instead of a parable, we have tax collector, take 2, as we meet a man named Zacchaeus, and hear of his encounter with Jesus – and, there may just be a little tree climbing involved!

I'll be filming the sermon within the Sunday morning service, and will upload it online later in the day. UPDATE:
The service is now available... WORSHIP LINK HERE

If you, or someone you know might find this helpful, come along. Tea and coffee will be available, as well as resource books to borrow, and just a space where you can talk, or just be. All are welcome to use this time as they need.

If you’ve any Advent or Christmas related items that you think would be suitable to share, do please let Dee, our editor know.

Whether you're inspired to climb trees, or not, may you know God's presence with you through this coming week.

God bless,
