Preaching & Teaching

Our minister usually gives a series of sermons or talks on a given theme or part of the Bible, over a few weeks. Details of the current and previous sermon series are available, sometimes with study notes (see Downloads). We hope to expand the collection of sermons and talks available to download as audio files (see Audio files of sermons and talks)
Recording of Services
We tape all 10.45 am & 6 pm services. To borrow a tape, enquire at the sound desk or at the church office (282491). Tapes can be delivered to your door. If you would prefer a CD please say so - as technology moves on we need to know which format is best for you. The days of tape cassettes are numbered! We hope to expand the collection of sermons and talks available to download as audio files (see Audio files of sermons and talks)
