OUR BIBLE TALK

This week we continue our series on Acts, ‘Launching the Church’, as we learn about the Courageous Christianity that the Apostle Paul shows as he confronts violent and hostile enemies as he returns to Jerusalem. It will be a fresh reminder to us of the need to trust in Jesus and be bold in his name.

Our mission of the month is Scripture in Schools (SRE). You can support the SRE ministry by donating and buying from the mission table in the hall.
