Sunday 4th March - 8.30am

After a month of abnormal service times we are finally back to our regular pattern!

Service this week will begin at 8.30am and it will be the third installment of our series on the chief parts of the Catechism. After taking a detour via Baptism last week, this Sunday we will be hearing about God's work for us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit through the Creed.

Remember to keep your reading up of the catechism each night!

God bless the rest of your week.
Pastor Matt
