Our theme this week is No Greater Life, the second part of our three-year journey. If last year we discovered No Greater Story, this year we turn to the call of Jesus to live as His disciples - formed, shaped, and sent by Him. True life is found in following Jesus. He offers not simply existence, but life in all its fullness - life that is rooted in love, deepened in community, and transformed by the Spirit.
Over these days, we’ll explore what it means to be shaped into Christ’s likeness, and how discipleship touches every part of our daily living.
We are so glad you’re here. Whether you want to get involved in everything, pick and choose what’s right for you or simply relax and enjoy some space there is no ‘right way’ to do Spring Harvest! It’s your time, to come away, unplug and then reconnect with each other and with God. Need some guidance? Here’s some top picks and highlights!. See full details on the Programme section.
Fitness Fun & Run; fun, interactive space with a devotional to kick start the day, perfect for all the family.
Morning reflection; Gentle worship, scripture reading and prayer to begin our focus on the theme of each day.
