This month at our Café Church, I have to confess that I wasn’t much involved and so don’t have much to share. HOWEVER!! I do have one idea to share which went down very well. The service as a whole was looking at the subject of the church with one definite thread looking at how [...]
This month at our Café Church service, we were looking at the theme of ‘living it out’. As we continued with our series on the basics of the Christian faith, the entire evening examined how we are called upon to take this faith that we believe and proclaim and live it out in the context [...]

Back in the day when I was a brand new Christian, my home church was an Anglican-Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership. In the bigger scheme of things, I wasn’t a member of that church for long – 18 months or so – but in that time I attended two New Year’s Day services in which we [...]
