We explored the theme of 'God's Mission' during our all age service. Rosemary interviewed Nicola to help us find out more about what God's mission is for us personally as well as how we help to support the mission going on through our wider church partnerships. We apologise for the audio issues on this stream. We are currently integrating a new system. Here's John sharing from Acts 9 and helping us to think about who Jesus is, how He speaks to us and what we should do about it. Acts 8 is a dramatic account of how the early church expands beyond Jerusalem. What will help us stand for Christ and play our part in God's purposes? James shares on how we first need to find our rest in God and how this principle played out in Philip's life and how Simon the Sorcerer missed out. Here's Tim sharing from Acts 2 as we celebrated Pentecost. Here's Suzi sharing on the Parable of the Lost Sheep from Luke 15 and Matthew 18 as we continue our series in 'The Parables of Jesus' across our All Age Services in 2023. We apologise that there is no video recording as we did not have enough volunteers to run the livestream this Sunday. We’re spending 2023 in the book of Acts. It’s an amazing account of the birth of the church and throughout the text there are amazing details. Today we looked at Stephen. A few weeks ago in Chapter 5 we looked at how the Christian life has significant up and downs, it’s not a story of endless comfort and pleasure, without challenges and difficulty. Stephen’s life encapsulates that, chosen as someone ‘full of the Spirit’ he eventually tragically pays for his faith in Christ, with his life, stoned to death. Today, we’re delighted that Rev Gavin Foster is joining us to share about Stephen’s life. Gavin is a vicar on the South coast, was Bishop’s Chaplain in Winchester and currently works for the Diocesan Registry in Salisbury, he also led our time away in the Gower last year. As we discover more together of what God has to say to us today, I wonder how important is your faith in Christ? Here's David preaching from Acts 6 as we continue our year-long journey through the book of Acts. Here's Tim sharing from Acts 5:12-42 as we reengaged with our year journeying through the book of Acts. Apologies for all the background noise. We were having technical difficulties in this service. Here's Tim sharing from Mark 10 on Giving Sunday. To find out more about how to financially contribute to the life of St Swithin's Church, please go to https://www.stswithinswalcot.org.uk/giving.html As we held our APCM (annual parochial church meeting) on Sunday, we took time to celebrate what God has done in the last year and look ahead to what he's calling us to. Here are some testimonies of God and work, some insights into various bits of church life as well as Tim challenging us to step out of hiding and to shine for God. |
