Youth Group is on at Reforming House!

We’ll be enjoying looking into Life with Jesus ~ God speaks: exploring the Bible - and having stacks of fun with codebreaking!

>> 6.30pm to 8.30pm <<

At this month’s Prayer Service we’ll hear a short sermon expounding texts in a systematic way on the doctrine of Providence, from the WCF chapter 5.

We love to pray, and for those who don’t yet love to pray (but would secretly like to), this is for you too. Prayer is an expression of faith, of reliance on God our Father who cares for His children.

We live such full and busy lives that we must pray. The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:6, ‘do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.’ 

We see how good prayer is, by seeing how good God is, and you’re invited to come and pray with us too at our weekly Prayer Service.

At our Prayer Service, we’ll sing a song together (perhaps a song that is a prayer) and hear a short message from the Bible. We’ll pray through Scripture, take prayer requests and be led in prayer from the front. We’ll pray in small groups, in large groups and in small moments of silent personal prayer.

Everyone is welcome, kids are welcome. So, come along, bring your requests before God, we will be expectant in prayer together, we will not be anxious about anything, for we will pray about everything.

On Saturday 28th February, 8.00am, we’re hosting a turf working be at Reforming House.

If you’d like to join the crew, please bring any gear you have that is lawn-care related.

We’re going to repair and rejuvenate the playspace turf, so the children can use the front playspace for what it was intended for.

You can find out more by messaging below.

We invite all youth and children's ministry leaders from local churches to join us for a day of practical training and encouragement. Also, we welcome all those who are interested in leadership of youth and children’s ministries, along with parents of children and youth as well.

Together we'll grow in ministry skills, be challenged and equipped, and be better prepared to lead the young people of our churches towards maturity in Christ.

Also hosted that day for you is an in-person Safe Church Basic Training will be running concurrently with our Youth & Children’s training day from 2:00pm till 4:15pm. This part of the day is free of course and anyone can come along to it even if they aren’t coming along to the rest of the Y&C training day. Would be great to have people coming along for that in person Safe Church Training.
