Last week we were thinking about the rich young ruler who didn’t seem able to give up his wealth. This week we consider a similar story about a very rich man who built bigger barns to look after his wealth … only then to pop his clogs.
It’s an all together service so we’ll have fun exploring what it means to have too much!

Have you ever tried to take your camel on the 192? It can be quite a job. I find it’s easier if you don’t load it up with too many bags – travel light and you can squeeze on a little more easily. Jesus once told a story along these lines. Come along on Sunday to hear more.
Also on Sunday, we’re going to be celebrating Church Action on Poverty Sunday with some home-made soup after the service. The soup will be provided, but please bring a little money if you’d like to make a donation to the work of Church Action on Poverty. No pressure though – just come!

Sometimes Jesus told stories that were very short – sometimes little more than a saying. This Sunday we’re going to explore three: about foxes, funerals and furrows. But what connects them all?

On Sunday we revisit one of the most familiar stories in the whole Bible: the parable of the good samaritan. We will also take time to tell some of our own stories of hurt and help as we explore what it means to love our neighbours as ourselves.

One of my favourite books in Arundhati Roy’s novel called The God of Small Things. It is sometimes the small stories that matter most. And this week we are considering two parables about small things – mustards seeds and yeast. Your stories matter – however small. Do come along and join us.

This week we begin to explore the parables of Luke’s gospel, starting with one of the most well known – the parable of the sower. We’ll look at what a parable is … and what this particular parable might mean. Do come along and join us.

Happy New Year everyone. Once again we’re going to begin the year by exploring a gospel and this year it is the turn of Luke. We’re going to look especially at the many parables that Jesus tells in that gospel and how those stories relate to our own stories.
The title for this series in ‘Our Stories Matter’ and reminds us that very often Jesus used the stories of ordinary lives to explain to his followers how much God cares for them and that his kingdom is to be found in the simple things.
