Current teaching series
Luke's Gospel, continued
We continue our series working through Luke's Gospel each Sunday morning, taking up where we left off at chapter seven after our short Easter series. By looking at this Gospel we want to know Jesus personally, more and more — to find out what he is like, and to grow in following him.
The series runs through the summer months apart from a short break here and there. All are welcome to our Sunday morning services of praise, worship, and time spent in God's word.
